It was in the town of Nashville in the year of 75
C F C G
This Arizona star, she just fell out of the sky
C F C G
She was shining like a diamond, she had tombstones in her eyes
C F G C
She liked drinking she liked smoking, she liked dancing in the aisles
[Verse 2]
C F C G
She was a pre-Madonna, primadonna, part-time southern belle
C F C G
Man she should have been an actress oh she played the part so well
C F C G
She might have been a singer, but you really couldn't tell
C F G C
She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell
[Chorus]
Am G
When you're cool, the sun shines all the time
C Am G
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind
Am G
She was cool, She was out there so far
C F G
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona Star
[Verse 3]
C F C G
She had a girlfriend named George, George carried a sword
C F C G
And wore purple tights an they hung out every night
C F C G
Oh I'm talking bout a circus man, I'm talking bout three rings
C F G C
And there was four or five clowns in a washing machine
[Verse 4]
C F C G
Oh she never met a stranger least as far as I can tell
C F C G
She was the Arizona Star and Jim McGuire he knew her well
C F C G
She made real an oxymoron, she made mirrors she made smoke
C F G C
She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit and a girlfriend for a joke
[Chorus]
Am G
When you're cool, the sun shines all the time
C Am G
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind
Am G
She was cool, She was out there so far
C F G
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona Star
