G                           D            C            G
Well, the world's greatest wonder from what I can tell
G                     D              C       G
Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way
G               D              C            G
I was blinded by glory with a 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            G
Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow
G             D          C            G
Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride


[Verse 2]

G               D              C        G
So I drifted on down from the Iron Ore range
G               D                  C            G
Caught the wide Missouri where the cool waters flow
G             D          C              G
When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name
G                      D            C            
but they said you rode off with 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            G
Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow
G             D          C            G
Damn this old cowboy for my 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                C            G
Down in old Amarillo there's a light in the window
G                   D             C        G
where a road weary shadow drifts into the arms
G                  D                C             G
of a long distance lover, then 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
G D C G
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
