Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Well, when you're [C]down on your luck
and you ain't got a buck
In [G]London you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down
and [C]moved to Arizona
Now I know [F]why

[Pre-chorus 1]
And I'll sub[F]stantiate the rumor
that the English sense of humor
is [C]drier than the Texas sand
You can [Am]put up your dukes
and you can [Abaug]bet your boots
That I'm [G]leavin' just as fast as I can

[Chorus 1]
I want to go [F]home with the [Em]armadil[Dm]lo
Good country [F]music
from Arma[G]rillo and Abli[C]lene
The friendliest [F]people
and the prettiest [G]women you've ever [C]seen

[Verse 2]
Well it's [C]cold over here and I swear
I [G]wish they'd turn the heat on
And where in the world is that English girl
I [C]promised I would meet on the third [F]floor?

[Pre-chorus 2]
And of the [F]whole damn lot,
the only friend I got is a [C]smoke
and a cheap guitar
[Am]My mind keeps roamin',
my [Abaug]heart keeps longin'
to be [G]home in a Texas bar

[Chorus 2]
I want to go [F]home with the [Em]armadil[Dm]lo
Good country [F]music
from Arma[G]rillo and Abli[C]lene
The friendliest [F]people
and the prettiest [G]women you've ever [C]seen

[Solo 1]
[F][Em][Dm][Dm][F]
[G][C][F]
[G][C][C]

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, I de[C]cided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And go [G]down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a Texan fancies
he'll take his chances
[C]Chances will be taken, that's for [F]sure

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
That some [C]people call manly footwear
They [Am]said you're from down South
And when you [Abaug]open your mouth
You always [G]seem to put your foot there

[Chorus 3]
I want to go [F]home with the [Em]armadil[Dm]lo
Good country [F]music
from Arma[G]rillo and Abli[C]lene
The friendliest [F]people
and the prettiest [G]women you've ever [C]seen

[Chorus 4]
I want to go [F]home with the [Em]armadil[Dm]lo
Good country [F]music
from Arma[G]rillo and Abli[C]lene
The friendliest [F]people
and the prettiest [G]women you've ever [C]seen
[F]Home with the [Em]armadil[Dm]lo
Good country [F]music
from Arma[G]rillo and Abli[C]lene
The friendliest [F]people
and the prettiest [G]women you've ever [C]seen
[C][G][C]
