Amarillo chords by Emmylou Harris

Tuning: EADGBE

Bb
My baby never was a cheatin' kind
        F7
But It wasn't cause the ladies didn't try

Now ev'ry where we go, they're walkin' 'round him slow,
 Bb
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
Bb
Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
 Bb7 Eb
Lord, I walked all over that blackeyed cajun queen.
 F7
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you
    Bb
I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Eb   Bb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb   C7           F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb Bb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
 Bb
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.

Bb
If you only hadn't stopped in ?????
                                        F7
If someone hadn't played  the window up above

Oh, he'd still be mine today,

But he heard those fiddles play,
                                      Bb
One look and then I knew this must be love.
Bb
Oh, that pinball machines in the corner,
                                             Eb
But he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring.
       F7
And he never was the same after he won his first free game,
F                                           Bb
oh, I lost him to the jukebox and a pinball machine.
Eb   Bb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb   C7           F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb Bb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
 Bb
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
Eb   Bb
Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Eb   C7           F7
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more.
Eb Bb
You done played a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree,
F7
Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
 Bb
