Hot Afternoon Arizona Desert(Chords)

	        

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 


          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 


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 


            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 


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 


            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
