[C]She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she [F]must have known the words to at least a million [C]tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as [Am]cowboy
Was the [C]late night benedic[Am]tion at the [G7]y'all come back [C]saloon
In a voice soft and trembling she'd sing her song to cowboy
As a [F]smokey halo circled round her raven [C]hair
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing [Am]rounders
Stopped the [C]games that they'd been [Am]playing for the [G7]losers evening [C]prayer
[F]Faded love [C]and faded memories
How they lin-[F]ger in her [C]mind
Miles and [F]years played the cowboy
Like and [C]old melo[Am]dy out of [D7]tune and out of [G7]time
[C]Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
He'd [F]dream of better days and ask for faded [C]love
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her [Am]song
He [C]paid his check then [Am]lonely walked that [G7]broken cowboy [C]home
[C]She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she [F]must have known the words to at least a million [C]tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as [Am]cowboy
Was the [C]late night benedic[Am]tion at the [G7]y'all come back [C]saloon

Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
In a voice soft and trembling she'd sing her song to cowboy
As a smokey halo circled round her raven hair
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
Stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer
Faded love and faded memories
How they lin-ger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy
Like and old melody out of tune and out of time
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
He paid his check then lonely walked that broken cowboy home
She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
Was the late night benediction at the y'all come back saloon
She played tambourine with a silver jingle

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
