[Verse 1]
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 F# F
It keeps me from seeing
      G        C
The lights of Amarillo

[Chorus]
    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  F# F
She's out there somewhere
        G         C
In the lights of Amarillo

[Verse 2]
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 F# F
She went to find them
        G         C
In the lights of Amarillo

[Chorus]
    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  F# F
She's out there somewhere
        G         C
In the lights of Amarillo

[Verse 3]
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 F# F
Going out with some cowboy
          G       C
In the lights of Amarillo

[Chorus]
    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  F# F
She's out there somewhere
        G         C
In the lights of Amarillo

[Outro]
  C             G  F# F
She's out there somewhere
        G         C
In the lights of Amarillo
