verse 1
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 G
and song spillin’ out off of every page
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 G
but they said you rode off with the last rodeo
Chorus
Bridge
C
Well the thunders are rumblin’
and the tumbleweeds tumblin’
D
and the rodeo clowns are paintin’ their face
C
I’m gunnin’ the throttle for Llano Estacado
Am7 D
on a wild appaloosa I’m blowing your way
verse 3
G D C G
Down in old Amarillo there’s a light in the window
G D C G
where a rogue weary shadow drifts into the arms
G D C G
of a long distance lover then they turn back the covers
G D C G
and dance the Redova till the light of the dawn
G D C G
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
G D C G
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
