This is how it goes. F**k everyone else who tells you different.
Also, in the intro, instrumentals, and Sweet Amarillos at the end for the last C and G
chords, we hit the notes
C B A as pick up notes into the G chord instead of actually playing the C chord. Just
like the lead fiddle part
does
Tabbed by: Whisky Trail Riders
Intro (Play Twice): G D Em C
G D C G
Verse 1:
G D
Well the world's greatest wonder
Em C
from what I can tell
G D Em C
Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way
G D Em C
I was planted by glory with a half written story
G D Em C
Songs spilling out off of every page
Chorus:
G D
Sweet Amarillo
Em C
Tears on my pillow
G D Em C
You never will know how much I cried
G D
Sweet Amarillo
Em C
Like the wind in the willow
G D Em C
Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride
Instrumental: Play Intro
Verse 2:
G D Em C
So I drifted on down iron old range
G D Em C
Across the wide Missouri, where the cool waters flow
G D Em C
When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name
G D Em C
It said you rode off with the last rodeo
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental: G D C G
Bm
When the thunders a-rumbling
C
And the tumbleweed's tumbling
G
And the rodeo clown's off painting their face
Bm
I'm gunning the throttle for the Llano Estacado
C D
On the wild appaloosa, I'm blowing your way
Instrumental: Play Intro Twice
Verse 3:
G D Em C
Down in old Amarillo there's a light in the window
G D Em C
Where a road weary shadow drifts into the arms
G D
Of a long distance lover
Em C
Then they turn back the covers
G D Em C
And dance the redova 'til the light of the dawn
Repeat Chorus
G D Em C G D C G
Sweeeeet Amarillo
G D Em C G D C G
Sweeeeet Amarillo
