F                                             Bb  
I WALKED HER TO THE PLANE IN PHOENIX, I SAID, "SAY HELLO TO YOUR MAMA."  
F                                 Csus  C 
SHE COULDN'T EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE 
   F                      Bb         
I DROVE OUT TO THE DESERT JUST LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED 
    F                           C                   F 
AND SOMEWHERE IN THE DARKNESS I HEARD HER SAY GOOD BYE 
 
 
    Bb             C                 F                       
NOW I HEAR VOICES IN THE WIND SAYIN' SHE AIN'T COMING BACK AGAIN 
  Bb                C                   Dm                             C 
I LOOK FOR GUIDANCE IN THE SKY BUT THE STARS HAVE ALL GONE OUT TONIGHT  
  Bb                           C  
I FELL LIKE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DYING 
Bb                               F 
EVEN THE MAN IN THE MOON IS CRYING. 
 
 
F                             Bb 
I'M BURNING UP THIS BLACKTOP, HEADING DOWN TO AUSTIN 
F                            Csus   C 
I WONDER IF SHE MISSES ME TONIGHT 
  F                           Bb 
I WISH THAT I COULD TELL HER, HOW MUCH I LOVE HER 
    F                             C           F 
AND I WISH THIS DAMNED OL' THUNDERBIRD COULD FLY.
