san antonio stroll Tanya Tucker
[A]When I was a child down in [B]South Caroline
Soon's the [D]Saturday [E]sun went on [A]down[E]
My folks and [A]sister would go and leave me [B]home all alone
Going [D]to that big [E]square dance in [A]town
Well my [F#m]old radio would play that [C#m]old opry show
So I [Bm]never got [E]lonesome or [A]blue
I'd fall as[F#m]leep in my chair and dream that[C#m] I was right there
Just [Bm]singing the [B]whole night t[E]hrough
When my [A]folks would come home
They'd be [B]humming a song
Mama'd [D]smile and say, "C[E]hild, don't you [F#m]know,
there ain't a [D]thing in this world to make you
[A]fall in love [F#m]girl, like the [B]San An[E]tonio [A]Stroll[E]"
Same as intro, except twice--- A, B, D, E, A, E
Well the [A]day finally come when my [B]mama said, hun
It's 'bout [D]time you came [E]with us as [A]well[E]
Well I [A]had me a time, yes I d[B]anced all the night
Til they [D]rang that ol' [E]crack-midnight [A]bell
Then the [F#m]lights went down low
The fiddler [C#m]picked up his bow
And he [Bm]played something [E]steady and [A]slow
And my [F#m]sister Irene and her [C#m]husband to be
They held [Bm]hands and be[B]gan to s[E]troll
I've been a[A]way for a while, but it [E]still brings a smile
When I [D]think of the [E]way that it [F#m]goes
Now I'll [D]sing it to you just so we [A]both can [F#m]do
That old [B]San An[E]tonio [A]Stroll[E]
(instrumental--exactly like intro, except twice. Also, for the
mandolin, instead of ending on the note A, end on F#)
(chords for instrumental are: A, B, D, E, A, E, A, B, D, E, F#m)
Yes I'll [D]sing it to you just so we [A]all can [F#m]do
That old [B]San An[E]tonio [A]Stroll
Outro: Same as intro. Chords: A, B, D, E, A
