Intro

C majorC  G+G  A minorAm FF



C majorC            G+G
I was born down in the handle
A minorAm            FF
I was brought up by the strap
C majorC                    G+G
When the Devil starts to show up in your dreams
                  A minorAm  FF
Then it's hard to get your dreams back
C majorC             G+G
If I've lost my sense of wonder
A minorAm            FF
You can blame it on the banks
C majorC                     G+G
Because the scammers and the skimmers all swim around together
A minorAm            FF
And every dealer has a fish tank
FF                          C majorC
The numbers never lie, but they also never tell the whole truth
FF                    G+G
Deanna's in the passenger side with the Buffalo blues
       C majorC     C/BC/B    A minorAm     FF        C majorC
She said the guys that you'll be meeting with won't be easily impressed
  C majorC           C/BC/B      A minorAm
And if your whole thing's where you're coming from
    FF        C majorC
They'll wonder why you left

C majorC              G+G
I used to play first-person shooters
A minorAm             FF
I'd spend days inside the games
C majorC               G+G
The speed made my head like a cockpit computer
     A minorAm         FF
'Til the wings came off the plane
DmDm
I was deep in debt and desperate
DmDm
Met some hesher and his henchmen
DmDm                      C majorC     G+G
Put on my only suit and I walked up to the interview
G+G
I applied for the position

C majorC               G+G
When the whole thing finally happened
A minorAm              FF
They flew me out to Buffalo
New York
C majorC                 G+G
The terms were much different from what we'd first discussed
A minorAm            FF
But I was grateful for the work
FF                            C majorC
Deanna was the girl who used to ride around and wait in the car
FF                                G+G
The gig was pretty good, they just always need to know where you are
C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm     FF       C majorC
They gifted me a CR-V, and a decent place to live
C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm    FF      C majorC
A augmentedA pistol and a nickname
I'm The Amarillo Kid
DmDm
Dispatch and deliver
DmDm
It's tough to drive in winter weather
DmDm               C majorC
30 minutes or the next one is free
  G+G
Still feels like forever

FF                           C majorC
Deanna now I know that you were only there to watch me work
FF                         G+G
I couldn't see staying on just to maintain the way that we were
C majorC   C/BC/B      A minorAm        FF      C majorC
The ashtray is the bathtub, there's a stove-top kitchenette
C majorC   C/BC/B       A minorAm     FF     C majorC
The wallpaper is jaundiced, but it's still a step ahead
C majorC    C/BC/B        A minorAm
Didn't think they'd have the wherewithal
FF         C majorC
To hunt me down out West
C majorC   C/BC/B      A minorAm
I sold half of it in Wichita
FF            C majorC
And I'm wrapping up the rest
C majorC      C/BC/B     A minorAm
So darling sit down on the bed
FF          C majorC
Maybe have another hit
C majorC    C/BC/B     A minorAm
And listen to the 🏷Legend
FF       C majorC
Of The Amarillo Kid
