7. LONE STAR SONG (EDIT)

-----
Comments:
1. The song has to be played with capo on the 7th fret.
2. The slides in the Intro and in the Solo should be played
very quickly and sound practically as one note.

Shout it to the Dallasites we are rolling home
      E5                                     A5       G5
They shot an angel in mid-flight and now she won't protect us

Shout it to the bedlamites we are westward ho

       E5                                  A5     G5
His disciples with artillery they held the fort inside
    E5                                  A5     G5
And by the time the story broke down at Dealey Plaza
E5                                      A5  G5
We've already caught the smoke read the TV guide

D                      G
