These are Hot Afternoon Arizona Desert chords by Bobby Bare on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
Convertible is slowing down,
F Em
looks like a Cadillac
F Em
A redhead is driving,
D
a blonde is sleeping
in the back
A
A blonde\'s sleeping in the back
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Looking at that redhead,
F Em
I can see she ain\'t no slouch
F Em
And that blonde in the backseat,
D
come on now and shut my mouth
A
Come on now and shut my mouth
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
By the time the sun went down,
F Em
me and the redhead wrote a book
F Em
When I looked around, Lord,
D
the blonde was waking up
A
Hey, the blonde was waking up
[Outro]
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)
