Amarillo By Morning

George Strait recorded Amarillo By Morning a few years back and it remains as one of the great country and western songs. The song uses a standard chord progression, and a modulation to add interest. It is quite easy to learn and a lot of fun to play. We demonstrate Amarillo By Morning in the key of “D”. The chords you’ll need are: D, F#m, G, A, F#7, B7, E, G#m, and B. The chord structure is a standard 1-6-4-5 progression in two keys (D and E) with two connecting chords for a smooth transition between keys.
