Amarillo chords by Emmylou Harris

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Bb majorBb
My baby never was a cheatin' kind
    F7F7
But It wasn't cause the ladies didn't try

Now ev'ry where we go, they're walkin' 'round him slow,
 Bb majorBb
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
Bb majorBb
Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
 Bb7Bb7 Eb MajorEb
Lord, I walked all over that blackeyed cajun queen.
 F7F7
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you
  Bb majorBb
I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb MajorEb  C7C7      F7F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
 Bb majorBb
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.

Bb majorBb
If you only hadn't stopped in ?????
                    F7F7
If someone hadn't played the window up above

Oh, he'd still be mine today,

But he heard those fiddles play,
                   Bb majorBb
One look and then I knew this must be love.
Bb majorBb
Oh, that pinball machines in the corner,
                       Eb MajorEb
But he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring.
    F7F7
And he never was the same after he won his first free game,
FF                      Bb majorBb
oh, I lost him to the jukebox and a pinball machine.
Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb MajorEb  C7C7      F7F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
 Bb majorBb
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb MajorEb  C7C7      F7F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
