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
ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at.
Refrain:
A D A E
Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow.
A D A/E E A
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me.
D A E
Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow.
A D A/E E A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me.
D A E
Sha la la lala lala la. Sha la la lala lala la.
D A E A
Sha la la lala lala la, and Marie who waits for me.
A D A E
There's a church bell ringing. Hear the 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
and it keeps me going throught the wind and rain.
Refrain:
A D A E
Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night I've been hugging my pillow.
A D A/E E A
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me.
D A E
Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow.
A D A/E E A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me.
D A E
Sha la la lala lala la. Sha la la lala lala la.
D A E A
Sha la la lala lala la, and Marie who waits for me.
