[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
         C             F           C                  G
She was a pre-Madonna, primadonna, part-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 tell

            C       F                G                C
She was the Arizona star and she was born to give 'em hell
[Chorus]
            Am        G
When you're 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
[Verse 3]
          C                F       C                G
She had a girlfriend named George, George carried a sword

    C           F              C              G
And wore purple tights an they hung out every night

       C              F               C            G
Oh I'm talking bout a circus man, I'm talking bout three rings

              C            F           G       C
And there was four or five clowns in a washing machine
[Verse 4]
       C           F                 C            G
Oh she never met a stranger least as far as I can tell

            C       F            C                   G
She was the Arizona Star and Jim McGuire he knew her well

         C       F                  C                G
She made real an oxymoron, she made mirrors she made smoke

          C               F                   G                C
She had a curve ball that wouldn't quit and a girlfriend for a joke
[Chorus]
            Am        G
When you're 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
