London Homesick Blues

	  		G   
 Well, when you're down on your luck,   
   
and you ain't got a buck,   
  D   
in London you're a goner.   
   
Even London Bridge has fallen down,   
   G   
and moved to Arizona,   
          C   
now I know why.   
   
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor   
  G   
is drier than than the Texas sand.   
        Em                             Em7  
You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots   
        D   
that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can.   
   

 G         C             G    Am   
 I wanna go home with the armadillo   
            C              D            G   
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene   
 C                        D   
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever
    
   
seen.   
   
  G   
 Well, it's cold over here, and I swear   
 D   
I wish they'd turn the heat on.   
   
And where in the world is that English girl    
 G                                  C                
I promised I would meet on the third floor.   
   
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got   
    G   
is a smoke and a cheap guitar.   
   Em                     Em7  
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'   
     D   
to be home in a Texas bar.   
   
Chorus   
   
G   
 Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat   
      D   
and go down to Marble Arch Station.   
   
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.   
 G                                C   
 Chances will be taken, that's for sure.   
   
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize   
         G   
that some people call manly footwear.   
         Em  
And they said you're from down South,   
             Em7  
and when you open your mouth,   
   D   
you always seem to put your foot there.   
   
   
Repeat chorus till the cows come home
