verse 1

|A                |D      |A           |E

  When the day is dawning   on a Texas Sunday morning

|A              |D      |A                |E  

  How I long to be there with Marie who's waiting for me there

|F             |C   |F                |C

  Every lonely city   where I hang my hat

|F                 |C        |E              |E7

  Ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at.

chorus

|A                   |D        |A                      |E

|A                   |D        |A             E      |A

  Dreaming dreams of Amarillo    and sweet Marie who waits for me.

|A                   |D        |A                   |E

|A            |D        |A           E       |A

  Crying over Amarillo   and sweet Marie who waits for me.

|A           |D         |A           |E         |D           |A

  Sha lala lala lala la.  Sha lala lala lala la.  Sha lala lala lala la.

   And Marie who waits for me.

verse 2

|A                      |D      

  There's a church bell ringing.

|A                 |E

  Hear the song of joy that 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.

chorus
