Intro
C G Am F
C G
I was born down in the handle
Am F
I was brought up by the strap
C G
When the Devil starts to show up in your dreams
Am F
Then it's hard to get your dreams back
C G
If I've lost my sense of wonder
Am F
You can blame it on the banks
C G
Because the scammers and the skimmers all swim around together
Am F
And every dealer has a fish tank
F C
The numbers never lie, but they also never tell the whole truth
F G
Deanna's in the passenger side with the Buffalo blues
C C/B Am F C
She said the guys that you'll be meeting with won't be easily impressed
C C/B Am
And if your whole thing's where you're coming from
F C
They'll wonder why you left
C G
I used to play first-person shooters
Am F
I'd spend days inside the games
C G
The speed made my head like a cockpit computer
Am F
'Til the wings came off the plane
Dm
I was deep in debt and desperate
Dm
Met some hesher and his henchmen
Dm C G
Put on my only suit and I walked up to the interview
G
I applied for the position
C G
When the whole thing finally happened
Am F
They flew me out to Buffalo, New York
C G
The terms were much different from what we'd first discussed
Am F
But I was grateful for the work
F C
Deanna was the girl who used to ride around and wait in the car
F G
The gig was pretty good, they just always need to know where you are
C C/B Am F C
They gifted me a CR-V, and a decent place to live
C C/B Am F C
A pistol and a nickname, I'm The Amarillo Kid
Dm
Dispatch and deliver
Dm
It's tough to drive in winter weather
Dm C
30 minutes or the next one is free
G
Still feels like forever
F C
Deanna now I know that you were only there to watch me work
F G
I couldn't see staying on just to maintain the way that we were
C C/B Am F C
The ashtray is the bathtub, there's a stove-top kitchenette
C C/B Am F C
The wallpaper is jaundiced, but it's still a step ahead
C C/B Am
Didn't think they'd have the wherewithal
F C
To hunt me down out West
C C/B Am
I sold half of it in Wichita
F C
And I'm wrapping up the rest
C C/B Am
So darling sit down on the bed
F C
Maybe have another hit
C C/B Am
And listen to the legend
F C
Of The Amarillo Kid
C G Am F
Listen to the legend
C G Am F
Listen to the legend
C G Am F
Listen to the legend
Am F
Of The Amarillo Kid
