My fondness for Sinatra and inability to play jazz.
Lyrics
[A]If Frank had been a cowboy he [D]would have been the king
Sinatra swingin' Texas with a [E]little ring-a-ding
[A]he'd have a horse named Dino and [D]spurs that jingle jang
He'd still be crooning My Way [E]with just a little [A]twang
Chorus:
[A]Oh..can't you [D]hear him play the opry
and [A]sing those swingin' hits
He'd be the king of all that sways [E]While putting on the ritz
He'd [D]sing about about Chicago but [A]be in in San Antone
[E]Cuz if Frank had been a cowboy That's where he'd get to [A]roam
Solo follows verse progression followed by second half form of chorus
[A]Now Frank was quite a singer and a [D]full-fledged swinger too
If he'd only lived in Texas [E]he'd be a buck-a-roo
[A]He'd trade casinos for honky tonks and [D]the vegas strip for fairs
Yeah, Frank would get 'em swingin' [E]as they all 2-stepped in [A]pairs
[A]Oh, he'd[D]woo the bobby-soxers[A]and all the cowgirls too
When he looked at em with his blues eyes[E]and said this one's for you
He would [D]swap New York, New York for the [A]Rose of San Antone
Cuz [E]if hed been a cowboy he'd have the lonestar state for [A]home
[A]Yes if Frank had been a cowboy he'd have the [E]lonestar state for home D|A...
