F5                                             Bb5  
I WALKED HER TO THE PLANE IN PHOENIX, I SAID, "SAY HELLO TO YOUR MAMA."  
F5                                 C5  C5 
SHE COULDN'T EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE 
   F5                      Bb5         
I DROVE OUT TO THE DESERT JUST LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED 
    F5                           C5                   F5 
AND SOMEWHERE IN THE DARKNESS I HEARD HER SAY GOOD BYE 
 
 
    Bb5             C5                 F5                       
NOW I HEAR VOICES IN THE WIND SAYIN' SHE AIN'T COMING BACK AGAIN 
  Bb5                C5                   D5                             C5 
I LOOK FOR GUIDANCE IN THE SKY BUT THE STARS HAVE ALL GONE OUT TONIGHT  
  Bb5                           C5  
I FELL LIKE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DYING 
Bb5                               F5 
EVEN THE MAN IN THE MOON IS CRYING. 
 
 
F5                             Bb5 
I'M BURNING UP THIS BLACKTOP, HEADING DOWN TO AUSTIN 
F5                            C5   C5 
I WONDER IF SHE MISSES ME TONIGHT 
  F5                           Bb5 
I WISH THAT I COULD TELL HER, HOW MUCH I LOVE HER 
    F5                             C5           F5 
AND I WISH THIS DAMNED OL' THUNDERBIRD COULD FLY.
