Chords for Amarillo written and performed by Neil Sedaka

_ _ _ Thank you for inviting me. _ _
_ _ _ _ I wrote this song in the 70s.
[Bb] Let's see.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ When _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ the [Eb] day is dawning
[Bb] On a [F] Texas Sunday [Bb] morning
How I [Eb] long to be there
[Bb] The [F] Koreans waiting for me [Gb] there
Every [Db] lonely city
[Gb] Where I [Db] hang my hat
_ [Gb] And it's [Db] half as pretty
[F] Where my baby died
[Bb] It's a good [Eb] way to have a [Bb] riddle
Every [F] night I've been hugging my [Bb] pillow
Dreaming [Eb] dreams of a [Bb] gorilla
[F] To sleep the [Bb] reeds next to me
Showing the [Eb] world to have a [Bb] riddle
I've been [F] weeping like a [Bb] willow
[Eb] Lying over every [Bb] hill
[F] Asking [Bb] Marie who waits for me Ready?
Sha [Eb] la la la la la
[Bb] Sha la la la la [F] la
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] Marie [F] _ [Eb] who [Bb] waits for me
There's [Eb] a church bell ringing
[Bb] Hear the [F] sound of joy that it's [Bb] ringing
For the [Eb] sweet Maria
[Bb] And the [F] guy who's coming to [Gb] see her
Just [Db] beyond the highway
[Gb] There's [Db] an open plain
[Gb] And it [Db] keeps me going
[F] Through the wind and [Bb] rain
It's a [Eb] good way to have a [Bb] riddle
Every night I've been [F] [Bb] hugging
Dreaming dreams of [Eb] a [Bb] gorilla
[F] To sleep [Bb] the reeds next to me
Showing [Eb] the world to have a [Bb] riddle
I've [F] been weeping like a [Bb] willow
Lying [Eb] over every [Bb] hill
Asking [F] Marie who [Bb] waits for me Ready?
Sha la [Eb] la _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] la la la
Marie [Bb] who waits for me
[B] And [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[Gb] _ [B] Marie who waits for me
[Gb] And Marie [B] who waits for me
And Marie [Gb] who waits _ [B] for me
Sha la la [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ la la la You're _ _ free
Tell _ _
[G] _ _ [Bb] me that you're leaving
[Eb] _ [C] Can't believe it's [B] true
[Em] Girl there's just no living [C] without you
[D] _ [G]
Don't take your [Em] love
_ [Am] Away from me
[G] Don't [Em] you leave my [Am] heart In [E] misery
[D] _ [Gb] Cause [B] if you [Em] go
Then I'll be blue
[G] Breaking [A] up is hard [C] to do
[D] _ [G] Remember [Em] when
You [Am] _
[C] held me tight
[D] [G] And [Em] you kissed me
[Am] All through
