E5                               B5 
He promised her a new and better life, out in arizona 
E5                                B5 
Underneath the blue never ending sky, swore that he was gonna 
A5                   B5     
Get things in order, he'd send for her 
         C5                         D5 
When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind 
 

      G5        B5 
There is no Arizona 
    E5             C5 
No painted desert, no Sedona 
    G5                 D5 
If there was a Grand Canyon 
           E5                  C5 
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her 
     A5                      B5     
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her 
        C5 
She'll wake up and find 
      D5        E5 
There is no Arizona  
 
 
          E5                       B5 
She got a postcard with no return address, 
               E5 
postmarked Tombstone 
                                       B5 
It said "I don't know where I'm goin' next but when I do I'll let you know" 
A5               B5 
May, June, July, she wonders why 
C5                     D5 
She's still waiting, she'll keep waiting 'cause  
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
 
C5 
Each day the sun sets into the west  
     E5 
Her heart sinks lower in her chest and 
C5 
Friends keep asking when she's going 
A5                      D5 
Finally she tells them don't you know 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 

E5                               B5 
He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona
