(G major) Arizona Desert, three in the afternoon
No place for me to be,
twenty- eighth day of June
I see lizards crawling,
some things that are not there
Sun is (G minor) shining so damn hot. Lord,
I can't breathe this air

Verse 2
(C major) way from L.A., and
back to Tennessee
I'm stranded (G major) in the desert,
feels like the devil's got me
(G minor) Con (E flat major) vertible is (D minor) slowing down,
looks (E flat major) like a Cadillac (D minor)
A (E flat major) redhead is driv (D minor) ing,
a blonde is (C major) sleeping in the back
A blonde's sleeping (G major) in
the back
Verse 3
(Arizona desert, (G major)
three in the afternoon)
Verse 4
She throws me the keys,
I put my guitar in the trunk
Would you like to drive? She said,
"I'm about half drunk"
(C major) She (G major) handed me a can of beer,
so cold it hurt my hand
(C major) Oas (G major) is in the desert, Lord,
I've found the promised land
Verse 5
So I struck (C major) out down the highway
with my big foot on the gas
My (G major) prayers have all been answered,
now my bad luck's in the past (G minor)
(E flat major) Looking at that (D minor) redhead,
I can see (E flat major) she ain't no slouch (D minor)
And that (E flat major) blonde in the back (D minor) seat,
come on now (C major) and shut my mouth
Come on now and shut
my mouth
(G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 6
Right down this hot rock silence,
after a while (G minor)
That's (G major) when I first noticed that
redhead's wicked smile
(C major) Why don't (G major) you pull off the road,
son? We'll find us a shade
Maybe when that scorching sun goes down,
better time can be made
Verse 7
Well that's (C major) how I spend the afternoon,
28th day of June
You can bet (G major) that's not one
I'll be forgetting soon
(G minor) By the (E flat major) time the sun went (D minor) down,
me and the red (E flat major) head wrote a book (D minor)
(E flat major) When I looked around, (D minor) Lord,
the (C major) blonde was waking up
Hey, the blonde was waking
up (G major)
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon) oh
Verse 8
(Arizona desert,
(G major)
three in the afternoon) oh my God
(Arizona desert,
three (C major) (G major) in the afternoon)
(Arizona desert,
three in the afternoon)
(Arizona desert,
