[Intro:]

A              D       A                E       D 
Sha la la lala lalala,   sha la la lala lalala,

[Vers 1:]

A                     D   A               E            A 
  When the day is dawning   on a Texas Sunday morning,   

                 D     A                      E                 F 
how I long to be there   with Marie who's waiting for me there.   

                C F                     C F                      C  
Every lonely city   where I hang my hat     ain't as half as pretty 

   E/B                 E E7 
as where my baby's at.      

[Chorus:]

A                      D       A                  
  Is this the way to Amarillo,   every night I've 

         E              A                      D      A/E 
been hugging my pillow,   dreaming dreams of Amarillo     

            E             A       E1+8 A 
and sweet Marie who waits for me.        

                     D       A                        E         A 
Show me the way to Amarillo,   I've been weeping like a willow,   

              D      A/E             E             A       A1+8 
crying over Amarillo     and sweet Marie who waits for me.      

[Bridge:]

A                D       A                E       D 
  Sha la la lala lalala,   sha la la lala lalala,   

               A       E                           A       
sha la la lala lalala,   and sweet Marie who waits for me. 

[Vers 2:]

A                           D    A                      E 
  There's a church bell ringing,   hear the song of joy   

                  A                   D A 
that it's singing   for the sweet Maria   

                     E               F                     C    F 
and the guy who's coming to see her.   Just beyond the highway,   

                      C F                   C   
there's an open plain     and it keeps me going 

E/B                        E E7 
through the wind and rain.
