[INTRO . ..E////E////E////E////A////A////]
VERSE 1
[Bb]My baby never was a cheatin' kind,
But It wasn't cause the ladies didn't [F]try.
Now ev'ry where we go, they're walkin' 'round him slow,
Givin' him a flutter and a [Bb]sigh.
[Bb]Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta,
Lord, I walked all over that blackeyed cajun [Eb]queen,
Out[F7]side of Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you,
I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball ma[Bb]chine.
CHORUS 1
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby [Bb]for,
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo.. now he [C7]won't come home no [F7]more.
[Eb]You done played a trick on me, [Bb]hooked him in the first degree,
[F7]Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball ma[Bb]chine.
Solo
[E////E////E////E////A////A////]
VERSE 2
[Bb]If he only hadn't stopped in there for coffee,
If someone hadn't played "The Window Up A[F7]bove",
Oh, he'd still be mine today,
But he heard those fiddles play,
One look and then I knew this must be [Bb]love.
[Bb]Oh, that pinball machine was in the corner,
But he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em [Eb]ring,
And he [F7]never was the same after he won his first free game,
[F]Oh, I lost him to the jukebox and a pinball ma[Bb]chine.
CHORUS 2
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby [Bb]for,
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo.. now he [C7]won't come home no [F7]more.
[Eb]You done played a trick on me, [Bb]hooked him in the first degree,
[F7]Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball ma[Bb]chine.
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo what'd you want my baby [Bb]for,
[Eb]Oh, Amarillo now he [C7]won't come home no [F7]more.
[Eb]You done played a trick on me, [Bb]hooked him in the first degree,
[F7]Put in another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter,
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball ma[Bb]chine.
Solo
