Jerry Jeff Walker - Viva Luchenbach Chords
[Verse 1]
D
There's a place I know where we all go,
G Em
A little way down the road,
A Em
It ain't far from here, we like to sit and drink beer,
G A D
Play dominoes and tell jokes.
D
We've been stopping by since 49,
G Em
(Eighteen hundred, I mean!)
A Em
Ain't nothing fancy, just kids and ranches and
G A D
Clean white shirts and jeans!
[Chorus]
G A D D Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,
G A G A D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!
G A D D Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,
G A G A D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!
[Verse 2]
D
Well, let me tell you now all about the town. . .
G Em
How it came to be. . .
A Em
In the 1800's they came in buggys
G A D
To meet and trade and buy feed.
D
They built the blacksmith's shop, then later on
G Em
They added the cotton gin. . .
A Em
But the old dance hall and general store's
G A D
Where it all begins and ends!
[Chorus]
G A D D Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,
G A G A D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!
G A D D Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,
G A G A D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!
[Verse 3]
D
In the 50's people moved to cities,
G Em
Leaving it all behind
A Em
Luckenbach closed down for good,
G A D
It just fell on a harder time
D
One day Hondo, driving by,
G Em
Wished he had a beer
A Em
So he bought the place and he opened it up
G A D
That's reason we're all here
[Chorus]
G A D D Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,
G A G A D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!
G A D D Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,
G A G A D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!
*Spoken* Here we go!
[Chorus]
G A D D Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,
G A G A D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!
G A D D Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,
G A G A D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!
G A D
In beatiful Luchenbach!
