The Tourist
Recorded by Wynn Stewart
Written by Wynn Stewart and Curtis Leach

F C
I was just a tourist out on the great white way
F
Where lights make night as bright as day
C G7
And day as dark as night
C F
I visited the city seen all the finer sights
C
Then I thought I'd do some slummin'
G7 C
For a little while one night

F
Well I stepped into the shadows of a second rate cafe
C D7 G7
The burlesques were before me in their old familiar way
C F C F
As I drew near my table the front girl whirled around
C G7 C
And I recognized my sweetheart from my own hometown

F C
Yes she was just a hometown high school beauty queen
F C G7
But everybody told her how she could be everything
C F
When the contest finally ended and the judges called her name
C G7 C
She won a trip to Broadway where she would find the fame

F
I slowly turned around and stepped back into crowd
C D7 G7
For I knew she mustn't see me she always was too proud
C F
And in that one lonely moment the truth my mind unveiled
C G7 C
The town she loved may failed her the town she thought she failed

F
So that night I wrote a letter on a homeward bound express
C D7 G7
And it read congratulations to you on your success
C F
But if you should ever decide to come back home again
C D7 G7
Well you know I'll always be here waitin' just like I've always been

F C
I was just a tourist out on the great white way
F C G7
Where lights made night as bright as day and day as bright as night
C F
When old friends ask about her I just smile at them and say
C G7 C
She stars a show on Broadway out on the great white way
