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         Esus4           E        E
  ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at.

[Chorus]
A                    D         A                       E
  Is this the way to Amarillo,   ev'ry night I've been hugging my pillow,
A                    D        E                     A
  dreaming dreams of Amarillo   and sweet Marie who waits for me.
A                    D         A                   E
  Show me the way to Amarillo,   I've been weeping like a willow,
A             D        E                     A
  crying over Amarillo   and sweet Marie who waits for me.

[Interlude]
A           D          A           E
  Shalala lala lalala.   Shalala lala lalala.
D           A         E               A
  Shalala lala lalala   and Marie who waits for me.

[Verse 2]
A                      D        A                  E
  There's a churchbell ringing,   hear the song of joy thats it's singing
A                  D                      E
  for the sweet Maria   and the guy who's coming to see her.
F                 C       F               C
  Just beyond the highway    lies an open plain
F                  C     Esus4                E        E
   and it keeps me going through the wind and rain.

[Chorus]
A                    D         A                       E
  Is this the way to Amarillo,   ev'ry night I've been hugging my pillow,
A                    D        E                     A
  dreaming dreams of Amarillo   and sweet Marie who waits for me.
A                    D         A                   E
  Show me the way to Amarillo,   I've been weeping like a willow,
A             D        E                     A
  crying over Amarillo   and sweet Marie who waits for me.

[Interlude]
A           D          A           E
  Shalala lala lalala.   Shalala lala lalala.
