intro: A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 
 
A5          A5
He gets up before the dawn 
A5                   A5              A5     A5
packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee 
A5                       A5
It's another day in the dusty haze 
      A5                A5               A5   A5
those burning rays are wearin' down his body 
    D5                           C5
And deisel's worth the price of gold 
             D5                          A5
And it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold 
                       E5
But he's still holdin' on 
 
chorus 
       A5                 E5
And he takes the tractor another round 
    F#5                             A5
and pulls the plow across the ground 
    E5                D5     E5
And sends up another prayer 
                 A5                 E5
He says "Lord, I never complain, I never aske why 
    F#5                              A5
but plese don't let my dreams run dry 
E5           D5               E5        A5 A5 A5
underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
 
(on second and third chorus, end like this: 
E5        A5   E5 F#5              
Amarillo Skyy 
 
That hail storm back in '83 
 
sure did take a toll on his family 
 
But he stayed strog and carried on 
 
Just like his dad and grandad did before him 
 
on his knees every night he parys 
 
please let my crops and childeren grow 
 
'cause that's all he's ever known 
 
2nd chorus 
 
Break: 
A5 - E5 - D5 - E5 

       A5                 E5              D5 
And he takes the tractor another round, another round 

                                (another round) 

another round, 
       A5                 E5              D5 
And he takes the tractor another round, another round 
  
3rd chorus (just the last half: from "He says...") 
D5               E5        A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
underneath this Amarillo sky
