verse 1 

D 
There's a place I know where we all go, 

  G                   Em 
A little way down the road, 

   A                               Em 
It ain't far from here, we like to sit and drink beer, 

     G   A             D 
Play dominoes and tell jokes. 

D 
We've been stopping by since  49, 

 G                   Em 
(Eighteen hundred, I mean!) 

      A                   Em 
Ain't nothing fancy, just kids and ranches and 

G           A          D 
Clean white shirts and jeans! 



[Refrão]
G               A      D               D        Bm    
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around, 

G           A              G        A       D 
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town! 

G             A                D            D       Bm    
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks, 

G              A                  G         A    D 
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach! 


verse 2 

D 
Well, let me tell you now all about the town. . . 
G              Em 
How it came to be. . . 
       A            Em 
In the 1800's they came in buggys  
   G      A               D 
To meet and trade and buy feed. 
D                                 
They built the blacksmith's shop, then later on 
G                     Em 
They added the cotton gin. . . 
        A                  Em 
But the old dance hall and general store's 
        G     A         D 
Where it all begins and ends! 



[Refrão]
G               A      D               D        Bm    
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around, 

G           A              G        A       D 
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town! 

G             A                D            D       Bm    
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks, 

G              A                  G         A    D 
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach! 

verse 3 

D 
In the 50's people moved to cities, 
G              Em 
Leaving it all behind 
A                 Em 
Luckenbach closed down for good, 
        G         A      D 
It just fell on a harder time 
D 
One day Hondo, driving by, 
G               Em 
Wished he had a beer 
      A                       Em 
So he bought the place and he opened it up 
       G       A        D 
That's reason we're all here 



[Refrão]
G               A      D               D        Bm    
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around, 

G           A              G        A       D 
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town! 

G             A                D            D       Bm    
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks, 

G              A                  G         A    D 
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach! 

*Spoken* Here we go! 



G               A      D               D        Bm    
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around, 

G           A              G        A       D 
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town! 

G             A                D            D       Bm    
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks, 

G              A                  G         A    D 
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach! 

G            A    D 
In beatiful Luchenbach!
