Am           D                    G 
Nothing like this way out in west Texas 
Am        D                    G 
Galveston bay is a whole other world 
Am               D                        Bm 
My wife's in her room getting over her sunburn 
          C     D                          G 
How would Louie Lamour get me next to that girl 
    Am           D                       G 
She tells me her tan is the same way all over 
    Am          D                               G 
She asked me to dance and said "keep your boots on." 
Am        D                   Bm 
She never met a number one cowboy 
    C            D                        G 
We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn 
 

        C         D      G 
        Who's the blonde stranger who entered my life 
                 Am  D           G 
        Making me over in the moonlight 
        C    D       G 
        This side of Texas is all new to me 
                         Am       D 
        Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea 
 

Am            D                           G 
Stayed up all night and for me that's the first time 
Am           D                      G 
Sneak in the room just as cool as I can 
Am            D                          Bm 
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty 
C            D                            G 
Except for a note left from some guy named Dan 
 

   Am           D                          G 
My head got all light and the room kept on spinning 
   Am               D                      G 
I stepped outside just to get some fresh air 
Am       D                        Bm 
Out on a wave was my own darling Lola 
    C           D                      G 
And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair 
 

        C         D       G 
        Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife 
                          Am   D           G 
        What were they doing in the moonlight 
        C    D       G 
        This side of Texas is all new to me 
                      Am                D           G 
        Who are these strangers who live by the sea 
 

Am          D                       G 
Back on the ranch and everythings normal 
Am            D                    G 
Beach blanket bingo comes on the T.V. 
   Am          D                         Bm 
We talk in our sleep and then the next morning 
  C              D                         G 
I ask her "Who's Dan?" and she says "Who's Marie?" 
 

        C         D      G 
        Who's the blonde stranger who entered my life 
                 Am  D           G 
        Making me over in the moonlight 
        C    D       G 
        This side of Texas is all new to me 
                         Am       D 
        Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea
