G             D   Am              C
Mother do you see what's about to happen 
G                 Em                  D
I'm gonna turn us around and we'll be gone
G                D    Am                        C
Put your arms up dear and we'll keep the casket open
G                         Em                D
When they take us back to Oklahoma where we belong
C   D    G G/F# Em 
Surprise Arizona
C                       D 
Put us out of our sweet misery
G  D  Am       C
In 34 you were 21
G                       Em                     D
He told me once that he knew when he first saw you
G                  D
But were you happy then 
Am          C
I'd like to know 
G                       Em             D 
I think about him still when I see you alone
C   D    G G/F# Em 
Surprise Arizona
C                       D 
Put us out of our sweet misery

SOLO

G                  D  Am      C
And you know about me at only 23 
G                    Em                               D
you saw her come and go as I went through everything I had
G                  D   Am             C 
But mother did you see what was gonna happen
G                  Em                        D
She let me down so far I never quite made it back
C   D    G G/F# Em 
Surprise Arizona
C                       D 
Put us out of our sweet misery
C   D    G G/F# Em 
Surprise Arizona
C                       D           G  D Am C  G  Em  D   G
Put us out of our sweet misery
