  			G             D   Am              C 
Mother do you see what's about to happen  
G                 Em                  D 
I'm gonna turn us around and we'll be gone 
G                D    Am                        C 
Put your arms up dear and we'll keep the casket open 
G                         Em                D 
When they take us back to Oklahoma where we belong 
C   D    G G/F# Em  
Surprise Arizona 
C                       D  
Put us out of our sweet misery 
G  D  Am       C 
In 34 you were 21 
G                       Em                     D 
He told me once that he knew when he first saw you 
G                  D 
But were you happy then  
Am          C 
I'd like to know  
G                       Em             D  
I think about him still when I see you alone 
C   D    G G/F# Em  
Surprise Arizona 
C                       D  
Put us out of our sweet misery 
 
SOLO 
 
G                  D  Am      C 
And you know about me at only 23  
G                    Em                               D 
you saw her come and go as I went through everything I had 
G                  D   Am             C  
But mother did you see what was gonna happen 
G                  Em                        D 
She let me down so far I never quite made it back 
C   D    G G/F# Em  
Surprise Arizona 
C                       D  
Put us out of our sweet misery 
C   D    G G/F# Em  
Surprise Arizona 
C                       D           G  D Am C  G  Em  D   G 
Put us out of our sweet misery
