Arizona Star
By Guy Clark
Album: The Dark (2002)

C                     F               C         G
It was in the town of  Nashville in the year of 75
C                   F               C         G
This Arizona star, she just fell out of the sky
C                     F                         C         G
She was shining like a diamond, she had tombstones in her eyes
C                           F                  G              C
She liked drinking she liked smoking, she liked dancing in the aisles

C                     F                        C         G
She was a primadonna,  pre-madonna, hard time southern belle
C                     F                       C              G
Man she should have been an actress oh she played the part so well
C                     F                           C         G
She might have been a singer, but you really couldn't really tell
C                  F                G              C
She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell

Chorus:
Am                 G
When your cool, the sun shines all the time
C                                 Am                    G
So she always kept her shades on to keep from going blind
Am                   G
She was cool, She was out there so far
C                                             F       G
She was nothing less and nothing more than the Arizona Star

She had a girlfriend named George, George carried a sword
And wore purple tights an they hung out every night
Oh I'm talking bout a circus man, I'm talking bout three rings
And there was four or five clowns in a washing machine
Oh she never met a stranger least as far as I can tell
She was the Arizona Star and Jim McGuire he knew her well
She made real an oxymoron, she made mirrors she made smoke
She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit and a girlfriend for a joke

Chorus
