[Verse]
A               D       A          E
When the day is dawning on a Texas Sunday morning
A             D
How I long to be there 
A                E  
With Marie who`s waiting for me there
F            C    F               C
Every lonely city where I hang my hat
F               C      Bm                 E
Aint as half as pretty as where my baby`s at


[Chorus]
A                  D       D A
Is this the way to Amarillo
A                     E                E A
Every night I`ve been hugging my pillow
A                  D        A         E         A
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
A                  D      D A
Show me the way to Amarillo 
A                 E            E A
I`ve been weeping like a willow
A           D        A         E         A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me


[Interlude]
A                D    D A
Sha la la lala lalala
A                E    E D
Sha la la lala lalala
D              A      E             A
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me


[Verse]
A                     D
There`s a church bell ringing
A                E      
Here the song of joy thats 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 through the wind and rain


[Chorus]
A                  D       D A
Is this the way to Amarillo
A                     E                E A
Every night i`ve been hugging my pillow
A                  D        A         E         A
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
A                  D      D A
Show me the way to Amarillo 
A                 E            E A
I`ve been weeping like a willow
A           D        A         E         A
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
