Lyrics:

1973
Written by Cindy Walker

C
You say that you’re leaving
G7
And I can’t say it takes me by surprise

But hearing you say it girl
C
Just knocks the tears out of my eyes


I don’t know what to do
C7 F
But I’ll try to do it right
C
When you leave Amarillo
G7 C
Turn out the lights

G7
When you walk out to stay
F C
For me it’s over anyway

When you leave Amarillo
G7 C
Turn out the lights


I’m sure gonna miss you
G7
And when you’re gone nothing will be the same

My life will be empty
C
As these sad old lonesome wind swept plains


Give him your tomorrow
C7 F
Oh but girl give me tonight
C
When you leave Amarillo
G7 C
Turn out the lights

Repeat #3


When you leave Amarillo
G7 C
Turn out the lights
