G 
Well when you're down on your luck you ain't got a buck 
    D 
in  London you're a goner now even London Bridge is falling down 
     G                          C   
you  move to Arizona and I know what  
C 
and I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is 
G  
drier than the Texas sand 
        Em                        Cm 
you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots 
        D 
but I'm leavin' just as fast as I can now 
D          C             Em  Am 
I wanna go home with the armadilla' 
             C             D            G 
good country music from Amarilla and Abilene 
                C                        D                 G 
the friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen  
 
Verse 2: 
G                                      D 
Well it's cold over here and I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on 
D                                             G                                C 
and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor 
C                                                    G 
and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar 
   Em                     Cm                        D 
My heart keeps roamin' my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse 3 
G                                             D 
Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station 
D 
cause when a Texan fancies he'll take his chances 
G                                  C 
chances will be takin' that's  for sure 
C                                                   G 
and them limey eyes they were eyein' the prize some people call manly foot wear 
              Em                              Cm 
and they said you're from down south and when you open your mouth  
    D 
you always seem to put your foot there 
 
Chorus:
