Goin' Thru The Big D, I Don't Mean Dallas
Mark Chesnutt
------------------------------------------
Intro in Bb  (listen to the song for the riff)

[Bb] Six short months we went together,
[F]  decided it should be [Bb] forever.
[Bb] Two paychecks were [Eb] better than one, 
A [C] diamond ring,... It was [F] done. [F]

[Bb] Bought her a house like I said I would,
[F] In a sub-divided [Bb] neighborhood.
[Bb] Her fuse got short, and the [Eb] nights got long,
it was [C] over, long gone, before I [F] knew, 
[F]  Where I was headed to.
--------------------------------------------
Chorus
[Bb] I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
[F] I can't believe what the [Bb] judge had to tell us.
[Bb] I got the jeep, she got the [Eb] palace...
[Bb] I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas.
(Guitar riff)
------------------------------------------------
[Bb] Things like this are never final, 
[F]  I'm still payin' [Bb] on the vinyl, 
[Bb] Throw in the [Eb] "laundry room", 
[C]  It's multi-colored, and [F] water-proof. [F]

[Bb] It's a little bit tough to face my friends,
[F]  The ones that said that [Bb] I'd just ended,
[Bb] The river of love, [Eb] a little too soon,
[C]  That was August,...[F]  this is June... 
[F]  And it's a different tune
-------------------------------------------------
Chorus
Solo  | Bb | Bb | F Bb | Bb Eb | C | F | Bb |

Last Chorus
[Bb] I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
[F] I can't believe what the [Bb] judge had to tell us.
[Bb] I got the jeep, she got the [Eb] TWO BEDROOM,
[Eb] MORTGAGE IS DUE [Eb] SIDING LIKE NEW...PALACE...
[Bb] I'm goin thru the big D and [F] don't mean [Bb] Dallas.
(Stop)    Tacet 
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas
(End song with guitar riff)
