Col[Bm]orado you [E]made me love you
[Bm]So I'm putting [E]you on trial
[Bm]For turning me against [E]my own state
To [F#]whom I've been so faithful
And [G]loved exclusively for a while
[Bm]Like any af[E]fair of this kind
[Bm]It began so i[E]nnocently

Verse:
My home state of Texas
Has never done anything
To deserve this kind of immoral treatment of
Lying and deception
All in the name of a summer fling, oh
I, a powerless man
I couldn't stand in the shadow
Of her mountains and expect to overcome
The joy of gratitude accompanied
By an indulgent glance
How could any red-blooded man look away?
Chorus
Bridge:
[A]I can tell
[D] [A]
The [A]lawyer that you hired is a
[D]Crook in [A]disguise
You'll [E]walk out of the courtroom
And [D]find the nearest man
Yeah [E]you and I both know
That a [D]jury's gonna be leniant
On a [A]good looking woman, yeah

Verse:
Colorado, raise your right hand
And look us all in the face
Vow to put an end to the torment
That you've spread around like butter
Never askin what it meant
To institute separation of man and state
And this parallelization disintegrates
