by Quanah Talmadge Tubb – Key of A or G

Ernest Dale Tubb (February 9, 1914 – September 6, 1984), nicknamed the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of country music. His biggest career hit song, “Walking the Floor Over You” (1941), marked the rise of the honky tonk style of music.
In 1965 he recorded Waltz Across Texas which was written by his nephew Quanah Talmadge Tubb, known professionally as Billy Talmadge, This became one of his most requested songs and is often used in dance halls throughout Texas during waltz lessons. Tubb is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[G] When we dance together my [D] world’s in disguise. It’s a fairyland tale that come [G] true. And when [G] you look at me with those [D] stars in your eyes; I could waltz across Texas with [G] you.

[G] Waltz across Texas with [D] you in my arms. Waltz across Texas with [G] you. Like a [G] storybook ending, I’m [D] lost in your charms; I could waltz across Texas with [G] you.

My [G] heartaches and troubles are [D] just up and gone, the moment that you come in [G] view. And with [G] your hand in mine dear I could [D] dance on and on. I could waltz across Texas with [G] you.

[G] Waltz across Texas with [D] you in my arms. Waltz across Texas with [G] you. Like a [G] storybook ending, I’m [D] lost in your charms; I could waltz across Texas with [G] you.

Like a [G] storybook ending, I’m [D] lost in your charms; and I could waltz across Texas with [G] you.

PARODY

When we dance together, the world’s hot outside.
In a desert-land trail built for two.
Bumping into a cactus, I get tears in my eyes
I could waltz across Phoenix with you.

Waltz across Phoenix, with you in my arms
Waltz across Phoenix with you.
After eating some salsa, that sounds an alarm
I could waltz across Phoenix with you.

My heartburn and troubles seem to go on and on
As we bid cactus needles goodbye
Taking pepcid and water I could dance on and on
I could waltz across Phoenix with you.
