San Antonio Stroll - Tanya Tucker
Verse 1:
[C] When I was a child down in [D7] South Caroline
Soon's the [F] Saturday [G7] sun went on [C] down
My folks and sister would go and leave me [D7] home all alone
Going [F] to that big [G7] square dance in [C] town
Verse 2:
Well my [Am] old radio would play that [Em] old opry show
So I [F] never got [G7] lonesome or [C] blue
I'd fall [Am] asleep in my chair and dream that [Em] I was right there
Just [D7] singing the whole night [G7] through
|Chorus:
|When my [C] folks would come home
|They'd be [D7] humming a song
|Mama'd [F] smile and say [G7] child don't you [Am] know
|There ain't a [F] thing in this world to make you
|[C] Fall in love girl [Am] like the [D7] San Ant[G7]onio [C] Stroll
Verse 3:
Well the day finally come when my [D7] mama said hun
It's 'bout [F] time you came [G7] with us as [C] well
Well I had me a time yes I [D7] danced all the night
Till they rang that old [G7] cracked midnight [C] bell
Verse 4:
Then the [Am] lights went down low
The fiddler [Em] picked up his bow
And he [F] played something [G7] stately and [C] slow
And my [Am] sister Irene and her [Em] husband to be
|Chorus:
|They held [D7] hands and began to [G7] stroll
|I've been [C] away for a while but it [D7] still brings a smile
|When I [F] think of the [G7] way that it [Am] goes
|Now I'll [F] sing it to you just so we [C] both can [A7] do
|That old [D7] San Ant[G7]onio [C] Stroll
Outro:
Now I'll [F] sing it to you just so we [C] both can [A7] do
That old [D7] San Ant[G7]onio [C] Stroll
