Beautiful Texas chords by Hank Thompson
Verse 1
D
Well, looks like it's showtime for us,
so let's follow the
marching band
back around to the soundstage.
It's the State Fair of Texas,
lots to see and lots to do.
Don't forget the big livestock show,
and the horse show,
and the auto show.
Don't forget the ice cafes,
two shows daily.
and don't forget Circus Lake.
See, the International Great Fair,
it's all part of the biggest and
best fair in all the land,

the State Fair of Texas.
