London Homesick Blues
Gary P. Nunn
From the album, "Viva Terlingua", 
by Jerry Jeff Walker

1st verse
[G] Well, when you're down on your luck,
and you ain't got a buck,
in [D] London you're a goner.
Even London Bridge has fallen down,
and [G] moved to Arizona,
now I know [C] why.
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
is [G] drier than than the Texas sand.
You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots
that I'm [D] leavin' just as fast as I can.

Chorus
[G] I wanna go [C] home with the [G] arma [Am] dillo
Good country [C] music from Ama [D] rillo and Abi [G] lene
The friendliest [C] people and the prettiest [D] women you've ever [G]
seen.

2nd Verse
[G] Well, it's cold over here, and I swear
I [D] wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English girl
I [G] promised I would meet on the third [C] floor.
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got
is a [G] smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be [D] home in a Texas bar.

Chorus

3rd Verse
[G] Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
and [D] go down to Marble Art Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
[G] Chances will be taken, that's for [C] sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
that some [G] people call manly footwear.
And they said you're from down South,
and when you open your mouth,
you [D] always seem to put your foot there.

Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home.
