  			C) The panhandle dust 
F              C 
Is blowin hard tonight 
                            G 
I can't even see across the road 
    C 
I'm thankful for the wind 
      F           C 
Its a blessing in disguise 
                 G 
It keeps me from seeing 
              C 
The lights of Amarillo 

    F                           C 
The lights of amarillo shine so bright 
                                          G 
Across the plains they became her guiding light 
      C 
I can see them in the distance 
     F               C 
On a clear panhandle night 
               G 
Shes out there somewhere 
                 C 
In the lights of amarillo 

C 
I can't really blame her 
F              C 
For leaving me here 
                          G 
I couldn't leave papa all alone 
    C 
She wanted those kind of things 
     F                  C 
That I could never give her 
                 G 
She went to find them 
                 C 
In the lights of amarillo 

C 
Each night i'm so worn out 
F                   C 
From workin all day long 
                            G 
Hoeing those endless cotton rows 
   C 
By the time i'm laying down 
F                           C 
Her dancing shoes are going on 
                    G 
Going out with some cowboy 
                 C 
In the lights of amarillo
