Ev ’ry lone ly ci ty where I hang my hat ain’t as half as pret ty as (Esus4)where my ba by’s at. Is this the way to A mar il lo? Ev ’ry night I’ve been hug ging my pil low, dream ing dreams of A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E7)rie who waits for me. Show me the way to A ma ril lo. I’ve been weep ing like a wil low, cry ing ov er A ma ril lo and sweet Ma (E)rie who waits for me. Sha la la la la la la la. Sha la la la la la la la. Sha la la la la la la la.
