London Homesick Blues Gary P. Nunn From the album, "Viva Terlingua", by Jerry Jeff Walker, 1973
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.
