1. Strophe
D A
When the day is dawning,
E A
On a Texas Sunday morning,
D A
How I long to be there,
E F
With Marie who's waiting for me there.
C F
Every lonely city,
C F
Where I hang my hat,
C
Ain't as half as pretty
Bm E A
As where my baby's at.
1. Refrain
D A
Is this the way to Amarillo?
E A
Every night I've been hugging my pillow.
D A
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo,
E A E A
And sweet Marie who waits for me.
D A
Show me the way to Amarillo.
E A
I've been weeping like a willow.
D A
Crying over Amarillo,
E A
And sweet Marie who waits for me.

2. Strophe
D
There's a church bell ringing,
E A
Hear a song of joy that it's singing
D A
For the sweet Maria,
E F
And the guy who's coming to see her.
C F
Just beyond the highway,
C F
There's an open plain,
C
And it keeps me going
Bm E A
Through the wind and rain.
