Version 1
London Homesick Blues
By: Jerry Jeff Walker
[Verse 1]
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
And moved to Arizona, now I know why
C
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
G
Drier than the Texas sand
Em Eb
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 C/B Am
I wanna go home with the armadillo
C D G
Good country music from Amarillo 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
Am 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 Eb D
My heart keeps roamin' my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar
[Chorus]
D C C/B Am
I wanna go home with the armadillo
C D G
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
C D G G
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G D 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
G
And them limey eyes they were eyein' the prize some people call manly foot wear
Em Eb
And they said you're from down south and when you open your mouth
D
You always seem to put your foot there
[Chorus]
D C C/B Am
I wanna go home with the armadillo
C D G
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen

I wanna go home with the armadillo
C D G
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
C Em Am
I wanna go home with the armadillo
C D G
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
