When the day is dawning on a Texas Sunday morning

With Marie who`s waiting for me there

Every lonely city where i hang my hat

A                     E                E A
Every night i`ve been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

A                     D
There`s a church bell ringing

A                E      
Here the song of joy thats it`s singing

A             D     A                 E
For the sweet Maria and the guy who`s coming to see her

F               C       F               C
Just beyond the highway there`s an open plain

F               C     E
and it keeps me going through the wind and rain

A                  D       D A
Is this the way to Amarillo

A                     E                E A
Every night i`ve been hugging my pillow

I`ve been weeping like a willow

A           D        A         E         A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
