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
(Repeated several times)
