G      D        C            G
Well the worldâ??s greatest wonder from what I can tell
G      D        C            G
Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way
G      D        C            G
I was blinded by glory with a half written story

Sweet Amarillo, Tears on my pillow
G      D        C            G
You never will know how much I cried

Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow

Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride

Verse 2
G      D        C            G
So I drifted on down from the Iron Ore range
G      D        C            G
Caught the wide Missouri where the cool waters flow
G      D        C            G
When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name
G      D        C            G
but they said you rode off with the last rodeo

Chorus

Bridge
C  
Well the thunders are rumblinâ?? 
and the tumbleweeds tumblinâ??
D
and the rodeo clowns are paintinâ?? their face
C
Iâ??m gunninâ?? the throttle for Llano Estacado  
Am7                    D
on a wild appaloosa Iâ??m blowing your way

Verse 3
G      D        C            G]
Down in old Amarillo thereâ??s a light in the window
G      D        C            G
where a rogue weary shadow drifts into the arms
G      D        C            G
of a long distance lover then they turn back the covers
G      D        C            G
and dance the Redova till the light of the dawn

Chorus
