  			C                     F               C         G 
It was in the town of  Nashville in the year of 75 
C                   F               C         G 
This Arizona star, she just fell out of the sky 
C                     F                         C         G 
She was shining like a diamond, she had tombstones in her eyes 
C                           F                  G              C 
She liked drinking she liked smoking, she liked dancing in the aisles 

C                     F                        C         G 
She was a primadonna,  pre-madonna, hard time southern belle 
C                     F                       C              G 
Man she should have been an actress oh she played the part so well 
C                     F                           C         G 
She might have been a singer, but you really couldn't really tell 
C                  F                G              C 
She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell 


Am                 G 
When your cool, the sun shines all the time 
C                                 Am                    G 
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind 
Am                   G 
She was cool, She was out there so far 
C                                             F       G 
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona Star 

She had a girlfriend named George, George carried a sword 
And wore purple tights an they hung out every night 
Oh I'm talking bout a circus man, I'm talking bout three rings 
And there was four or five clowns in a washing machine 
Oh she never met a stranger least as far as I can tell 
She was the Arizona Star and Jim McGuire he knew her well 
She made real an oxymoron, she made mirrors she made smoke 
She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit and a girlfriend for a joke 

Chorus
