Arizona Star - Guy Clark 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
