James uses drop D tuning on this which means your G chord is

G – 5X0003

Or

D/F# - 2X0232 use thumb to get to the 6th string with regular tuning

D D/F# G D

Every night, Texas skies, yeah, they’ll make you sing

D D/F# A

There’s many nights I’ve looked to you and wondered what the night would bring

D D/F# G D

Could tonight be the night that man will walk through the door

D D/F# A D

And tell me Son, pack it up, you’re done, you won’t play here anymore

Hill country nights, blue collar days, you take the good with the bad

And I wouldn’t trade one of them nights for all the fun we’ve had

Where barstools would turn into thrones, they made you feel like a king

Seiing all them people smile when you started to sing

Chorus:

D D/F# G D

I’d recognize navy skies over the trees so green

D D?F# A

And how you’d feel right at home in a cool hill country breeze

D D/F# G D

A Texas sky filled with stars, yeah Lord I seen ‘em all

D D/F# A D

And Lord I hope and pray I’ll shine and never fall

My body’s beginning to show them years of wear and tear

But I never thought I’d live so long to see you standing there

Side by side, night after night, we gave her one helluva ride

I don’t need any damn award to validate my pride

Chorus
