verse 1 [D]She played tamourine with a silver jingle and she [G] must have known the word to at least a million [D] tunes, but the one most requested by the man she knew as [Bm] cowboy was the [D] late night benedic[Bm]ion at the [A] y'all come back [D] saloon.
Verse 2 same chords as first In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her song to cowboy as a smokey halo circled round her raven hair. And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer. Chorus [G] Faded love [D] and faded memories how the lin [G] ger in her [D] mind. [D7] miles and [G] years played the cowboy like and [D] old melo[Bm]dy out of [E] tune and out of [A] time. Verse 3 Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo, he'd dream of better days and ask for faded love, lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song, he paid his check then lonely walked the broken cowboy home.
