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

As usual, I'm clueless when it comes to chords, but here's my transcription.   This was a new one to me.

MORE TRAINS THAN BRAINS IN TEXAS
(Music ~ Peter Hodgson, Words ~ Terry Wiens)

There's more hicks than sticks in Idaho; they're in an awful state
There's more ass than gas in Kansas; they just don't seem to wait
More shit-kickers in New Mexico than lust in dusty Utah
Why, they'll hang around the Texaco trying to get their boots off

What have we done to the cowboy to make him feel this way?
Well, we took away his west, now there's no room for him today
We fed 'em all those lonesome songs until it became infectious
Aw, things turned out all wrong, now there's more trains than brains in Texas

I can't really make out the lyrics, and I don't know from chords.
Can anybody help?

I'd love the chords and lyrics to More Trains Than Brains in Texas I recall being sung by Sneezy Waters.
