Bobby Bare – Hot Afternoon Arizona Desert (Guitar)

A
Arizona Desert, three in the afternoon

A
No place for me to be, twenty-eighth day of June

A
I see lizards crawling, some things that are not there

A
Sun is shining so damn hot. Lord, I can't breathe this air

          D
I'm on my way from L.A., and back to Tennessee

    A
I'm stranded in the desert, feels like the devil's got me

   F           Em                  F          Em
Convertible is slowing down, looks like a Cadillac

  F          Em                   D
A redhead is driving, a blonde is sleeping in the back

                           A
A blonde's sleeping in the back

A
She throws me the keys, I put my guitar in the trunk

A
Would you like to drive? She said, "I'm about half drunk"

A
She handed me a can of beer, so cold it hurt my hand

A
Oasis in the desert, Lord, I've found the promised land

            D
So I struck out down the highway with my big foot on the gas

   A
My prayers have all been answered, now my bad luck's in the past

F               Em             F                Em
Looking at that redhead, I can see she ain't no slouch

         F             Em                D
And that blonde in the backseat, come on now and shut my mouth

                        A
Come on now and shut my mouth

A
Right down this hot rock silence, after a while

A
That's when I first noticed that redhead's wicked smile

A
Why don't you pull off the road, son? We'll find us a shade

A
Maybe when that scorching sun goes down, better time can be made

            D
Well that's how I spend the afternoon, 28th day of June

        A
You can bet that's not one I'll be forgetting soon

       F                 Em               F               Em
By the time the sun went down, me and the redhead wrote a book

F              Em               D
When I looked around, Lord, the blonde was waking up

                           A
Hey, the blonde was waking up

A
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon) oh my God

A
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)

A
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)

A
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)
