INTRO: D

CHORUS:
D
She played tambourine with a silver jingle,
Gbm     G
and she must have known the words to at least 
          D
a million tunes.
D
But the one most requested, by the man she 
        Bm              D              B
knew as cowboy, was the late night benediction 
       A               D
at the y'all come back saloon.

#2.
D
In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her 
                                Gm7
song to cowboy as a smokey halo circled round 
    G     D
her raven hair.
                              A       
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing 
Bm                    D
rounders, stopped the games that they'd been 
                A               D
playing for the loser's evening prayer.

BRIDGE:
G              D                        G
Faded love and faded memories, how they linger 
       D
in her mind.
          G                                 D
Miles and years, played the cowboy, like an old 
     Bm         E               A
melo-dy, out of tune and out of time.

#3.
D                                               F
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo,
     G        D                         G     D
he'd dream of better days and longs for faded love.
D                         A            D            Bm
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song,
   D                    Bm                  A
he paid his check then 'lonely' walked that broken 
       D
cowboy home.
