Lyrics
Sha la la la la la la la.
Sha la la la la la la la.
(D)Sha la la la la la la la.
(A)When the day is dawning
on a Texas Sunday morning,
how I long to be there
with Marie who's waiting for me there.
(F)Ev'ry lonely city where I hang my hat
ain't as half as pretty
as (Esus4)where my baby's at.
(A)Is this the way to Amarillo?
Ev'ry night I've been hugging my pillow,
dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet (E7)Marie who waits for me.
Show me the way to Amarillo.
(A)I've been weeping like a willow,
crying over Amarillo and sweet (E)Marie who waits for me.
Sha la la la la la la la.
(A)Sha la la la la la la la.
(D)Sha la la la la la la la.
(E)And Marie who waits for me.
(A)There's a church bell ringing,
hear the song of joy that it's ing for the sweet Maria,
and the guy who's coming to see her.
(F)Just beyond the highway,
there's an open plain,
and it keeps me going
through (Esus4)the wind and by's rain.
(A)Is this the way to Amarillo?
Ev'ry night I've been hugging my pillow,
dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet (E7)Marie who waits for me.
Show me the way to Amarillo.
(A)I've been weeping like a willow,
crying over Amarillo and sweet (E)Marie who waits for me.
Sha la la la la la la la.
(A)Sha la la la la la la la.
(D)Sha la la la la la la la.
(E)And Marie who waits for me.
(A)for me.
(Bb)Sha la la la la la la la.
Sha la la la la la la la.
