C                        C7          F 
Shes a barmaid in a west Texas dance hall 
C                G               C 
Shes there every night till they close 
C                       F 
The cowboys pay for the jukebox 
C                    G    C 
And she plays San Antonio Rose 
 
Well I know that her life ain't been easy 
Lord the lines in her face say it all 
But she still is a beautiful woman 
In the lights of this Texas dance hall 
 
CHORUS: 
 
C                              F 
But she won't sit down at your table 
      C             G              C 
And I know that you can't hold her hand 
                              F 
No she won't go home with you cowboy 
         C           G     C 
She's in love with a rodeo Man 
 
  
 
Well he's hard and he's scared and he's grayin' 
And he's stoned most all of the time  
He drinks at a dark corner table 
And he waits there until closin' time
