-7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4   
All my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6   7*-6* 6 -5* -5-4     
And Tex-as is a place 
-4   -3* -4  -6* -6 6 
I’d dear-ly love to be 
-7  -7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4
But all my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6    -8   -8 -8  8*  -8  7* 6   8* -8  -7
And that’s why I hang my hat in Ten-nes-see 

-7 -7   7*   7* -6* -6* 5*  5  5*
Ro-san-na’s down in Tex-ar-kan-a  
 -7 -6*-6* -6* -6* -7   -6* 
want-ed me to push her broom 
-6*   7*  7*  -8   -8 7* 7* 7*
and sweet I-lene’s in Ab-i-lene 
 6   6  -6* 6  -7  -6*  5*
she for-got I hung the moon 
-8  8* -8 -7  7* -6*  6   5*
and Al-li-son in Gal-ves-ton 
 -6*  7*  -7   7* -6*-5 -4
some how lost her san-i-ty 
-4  -4   5*   -5*  6   -6*  7* -7  -6*
And Dim-ple’s who now lives in Tem-ples 
-6  -6*  8*  -8  -8  8* 6
got the law look-in for me 

-7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4   
All my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6   7*-6* 6 -5* -5-4     
And Tex-as is a place 
-4   -3* -4  -6* -6 6 
I’d dear-ly love to be 
-7  -7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4
But all my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6    -8   -8 -8  8*  -8  7* 6   8* -8  -7
And that’s why I hang my hat in Ten-nes-see 

-7-7 -7   7*  7*  -6* -6* 5* 5  5*
I re-mem-ber that old Fri-o Riv-er 
  -7 -6*  -6* -6*-7 -6*
Where I learned to swim 
-6* -6*  7*   7*  -8  -8  7* 7*  7*
And it brings to mind an-oth-er time 
  6   6  -6* 6  -7   -6*  5*
Where I wore my wel-come thin 
-8  8*   -8  -7   7* -6* 6 5*  5*  
By tran-scen-den-tal med-i-ta-tion 
-6* 7* 7*-6* -6*-5  -4   
 I  go there each night 
-4 -4 -4  5*   -5*  6  -6* 7*  -7
But I al-ways come back to my-self 
 8*  -8  -8   8*   6
Long be-fore day-light 

-7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4   
All my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6   7*-6* 6 -5* -5-4     
And Tex-as is a place 
-4   -3* -4  -6* -6 6 
I’d dear-ly love to be 
-7  -7  8* -7  6  7* -6*  6  -4
But all my ex-‘s live in Tex-as 
 6    -8   -8 -8  8*  -8  7* 6   8* -8  -7
And that’s why I hang my hat in Ten-nes-see 

 7*   7*  -8  7*    6  -4  -4
It’s been ru-mored that I died 
 6  -8 -7  -8   8*  7*  6   8*  8* -7
But I’m a-live and well in Ten-nes-see
