London Homesick Blues
Written by Gary P. Nunn
Performed by Jerry Jeff Walker


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

Chorus:
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
