Subject: RE: Chord Req: More Trains Than Brains in Texas Sneezy
Thanks Joe and cnd.

I've given a shot at the chords, but there's one line I'm not happy with.

MORE TRAINS THAN BRAINS IN TEXAS - Peter Hodgson & Terry Wiens

|F / / |G / / |C / / |/ / / |
There's more [C] hicks than sticks in Idaho; they're in an awful [F] state
There's more [G] ass than gas in Kansas; they just don't seem to [C] wait
More [E] shit-kickers [E7] in New [Am] Mexico than [E] lust in [E7] dusty [Am] Utah
Why, they'll [F] hang around the [C] Texaco [A7] [D7] trying to [G] get their [C] boots off

[E] What have we [E7]done to the [Am] cowboy to [E] make him [E7] feel this [Am] way?
Well, we [D] took away his [G] west, now [E7] there's no [A7] room for him to[D]day
We [E] fed 'em [E7] all those [Am] lonesome songs till [E] it be[E7]came in[Am]fectious
Aw, [F] things turned out all [C] wrong, now [A7] there's more [D7] trains than [G] brains in [C] Texas
|F / / |G / / |C / / |/ / / |


The line I don't like is this one:
Well, we [D] took away his [G] west, now [E7] there's no [A7] room for him to[D]day
