[Verse 1]
G D C G
Well the worlds 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 (into Bridge)
and a song spillin out off of every page
[Bridge]
G D C G
/// /// /// ///
[Chorus]
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 (into Bridge)
but they said you rode off with the last rodeo
[Bridge]
G D C G
/// /// /// ///
[Chorus]
G D C G
Sweet Amarillo, Tears on my pillow

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

Well the thunders are rumblin and the tumbleweeds tumblin

[Verse 3]
G D C G
Down in old Amarillo theres a light in the window
G D C G
where a road 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 (into Bridge)
and dance the Redova till the light of the dawn
[Bridge]
G D C G

Sweet Amarillo, Tears on my pillow

You never will know how much I cried

Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow
G D C G
Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride
