1. When the day is dawning, on a Texas Sunday morning,

A D - A E

how I long to be there, with Marie who's waiting for me there.

F C - F C

Every lonely city, where I hang my hat,

F C Bm E - E7

ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's a….…t.

A D - A E

Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow,

A D - A E A - E

dreaming dreams of Amarillo, and sweet Marie who waits for me.

A D - A E

Show me the way to Amarillo, I've been weeping like a willow,

A D - A E A

crying over Amarillo, and sweet Marie who waits for me.

A D - DA E

Sha la la la, la lala la, sha la la la, la lala la,

ED A - E A

sha la la la, la lala la, and Marie who waits for me.

A D - A E

2. There's a church bell ringing, hear a song of joy that it's singing

A D - A E

for the sweet Maria, and the guy who's coming to see her.

F C - F C

Just beyond the highway, there's an open plain,

F C Bm E - E7

and it keeps me going through the wind and ra….in.

+ CHORUS + repeat last two lines of chorus 2x and fade…
