When the day is dawning on a Texas Sunday morning
Ab Db
how I long to be there
Ab Eb5
with Marie who's waiting for me there
E B E B
every lonely city where I hang my hat
E B Eb5
ain't as half as pretty as where my baby's at

Chorus:
Ab Db
Is this the way to Amarillo
Ab Eb5
every night I've been hugging my pillow
Ab Db
dreaming dreams of Amarillo
Ab Eb5 Ab
and sweet Marie who waits for me
Ab Db
show me the way to Amarillo
Ab Eb5
I've been weeping like a willow
Ab Db
crying over Amarillo
Ab Eb5 Ab
and sweet Marie who waits for me
This pattern continues through the rest of the song,
the words are as follows
Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
hear the song of joy that it's singing
for the sweet Mariaand the guy who's coming to see her
just beyong the highway, there's an open plain
and it keeps me going through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarilloand sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me
Cheers
