Sweet Amarillo

G                           D    
Well, the world's greatest wonder
        C            G
 from what I can tell
G                     D          
Is how a cowgirl like you could 
    C       G
ever look my way
G               D              C
I was blinded by glory with a 
            G
half written story
G                 D            C
and song spillin' out off of every 
page


[Chorus]

G          D     C            G
Sweet Amarillo, tears on my pillow
G          D        C            G
You never will know how much I cried
G         D            C        
Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in 
    G
the willow
G             D          C      
Damn this old cowboy for my 
      G
foolish pride


[Verse 2]

G               D              C
So I drifted on down from the 
        G
Iron Ore range
G               D                 
Caught the wide Missouri where the
 C            G
 cool waters flow

G             D          C      
When I got to Topeka, I looked 
        G
up your name
G                      D         
but they said you rode off with 
   C
the last rodeo


[Chorus]

G          D     C            G
Sweet Amarillo, tears on my pillow
G          D        C            G
You never will know how much I cried
G         D            C        
Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in 
    G
the willow
G             D          C      
Damn this old cowboy for my 
      G
foolish pride


[Bridge]

C
Well, the thunders are rumblin'

and the tumbleweeds tumblin'
         D
and the rodeo clowns are paintin' 
their face
     Am
I'm gunnin' the throttle for Llano 
Estacado
      C                 D
on a wild appaloosa I'm blowing your
 way


(Instrumental Verse)


[Verse 3]

G               D                
Down in old Amarillo there's a 
C            G
light in the window
G                   D         
where a road weary shadow drifts 
    C        G
into the arms
G                  D             
of a long distance lover, then 
   C             G
they turn back the covers
G             D               C
and dance the Redova till the light 
of the dawn


[Chorus]

G D C G
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
