Amarillo

A                 D       A     
  When the day is dawning   on a
       E
 Texas Sunday morning,
A               D        A      
  how I long to be there   with 
            E
Marie who's waiting for me there.
F              C    F           
  Every lonely city   where I 
      C
hang my hat
F                  C         
  ain't as half as pretty as 
Esus4           E        E
where my baby's at.

[Chorus]
A                    D         A
  Is this the way to Amarillo,  
                       E
 ev'ry night I've been hugging my 
pillow,
A                    D        E 
  dreaming dreams of Amarillo   
                    A
and sweet Marie who waits for me.
A                    D         A
  Show me the way to Amarillo,  
                   E
 I've been weeping like a willow,
A             D        E        
  crying over Amarillo   and 
             A
sweet Marie who waits for me.

[Verse 2]
A                      D        
  There's a churchbell ringing, 
A                  E
  hear the song of joy thats it's 
singing
A                  D             
  for the sweet Maria   and the 
         E
guy who's coming to see her.
F                 C       F     
  Just beyond the highway    
          C
lies an open plain
F                  C     Esus4  
   and it keeps me going through
              E        E
 the wind and rain.
