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

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

Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow.
A           D        A/E         E       A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me.

A                     D        A                 E
There's a church bell ringing. 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     bm                   E
and it keeps me going throught the wind and rain.
