Verse 1

Verse 1
[G]Well when you're down on your luck you ain't got a buck
In [D]London you're a goner now even London bridge is falling down
And [G]moved to Arizona, now I know [C]why
[C]And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
[G]Drier than the Texas sand
You can [Em]put up your dukes you can[Eb] bet your boots
But I'm [D]leavin' just as fast as I can now
Chorus
[D]I wanna go [C]home with the [C/B][Am]armadillo
Good country [C]music from [D]Amarillo and [G]Abilene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen
Verse 2
[G]Well it's cold over here and I swear I [D]wish they'd turn the heat on
And [Am]where in the world is that [D]English girl I [G]promised I would meet, on the
3rd [C]floor
[C]And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a [G]smoke and a cheap
guitar
My [Em]heart keeps roamin' my [Eb]heart keeps longing to be [D]home in a Texas bar
Chorus
[D]I wanna go [C]home with the [C/B][Am]armadillo
Good country [C]music from [D]Amarillo and [G]Abilene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen[G]

Verse 3
Well I [G]decided that [D] I'd get my [G]cowboy hat and [D]go down to the Marble Arch
Station
Cause when a [D]Texan fancies he'll take his chances
[G]Chances will be takin' that's for [C]sure
And them limey eyes they were eyein' the prize some [G]people call manly foot
wear
And they said [Em]you're from down south and when you [Eb]open your mouth
You [D]always seem to put your foot there
Chorus
I [D]wanna go [C]home with the [C/B][Am]armadillo
Good country [C]music from [D]Amarillo and [G]Abilene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen
