C
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
F C
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
Am
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
C Am G7 C
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
In a voice soft and trembling she'd sing her song to cowboy
F C
As a smokey halo circled round her raven hair
Am
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
C Am G7 C
Stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer
F C
Faded love and faded memories
F C
How they lin-ger in her mind
F
Miles and years played the cowboy
C Am D7 G7
Like and old melody out of tune and out of time
C
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
F C
He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
Am
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
C Am G7 C
He paid his check then lonely walked that broken cowboy home
C
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
F C
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
Am
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
C Am G7 C
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
C
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
F C
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
Am
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
C Am G7 C
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
C
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
F C
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
Am
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
C Am G7 C
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
