D# G# D#
The campus crowd was noisy as we waited for the show
A#7
Everyone had come to see the king of rock and roll
D# G# D#
But when they pulled back the curtain one old man stepped out
A#7 D#
He climbed upon a stool and a hush fell upon the crowd
D# G# D#
He said folks I’m sorry but the star ain’t gonna show
A#7
He missed the plane in Abilene and they said to let you know
D# G# D#
But they’ll give back your money anytime you want to leave
A#7 D#
Then he took out his old mouth harp and he wiped it on his sleeve
G# D#
He sang about the Mardi Gras some blues and love and war
G# D# A#7
And how nobody takes the time to care much anymore
G# D#
He played that harp like it was part of that old guitar of his
A#7 D#
And truth was just a natural thing for the Arizona Whiz
D# G# D#
Then he sang a song of glory and how he’d fly away
A#7
Said thank you folks you sure been nice then he left the stage
D# G# D#
Though they only paid him 20 bucks that night the world was his
A#7 D#
Cause not a soul walked out the door on the Arizona Whiz
G# D#
He was old and he was wrinkled he was bent and he was broke
G# D# A#7
In a pair of faded blue jeans with a scarf around his throat
G# D#
And he could sing a hurtin’ song like the memory was his
A#7 D#
You could almost see the scars on the Arizona Whiz
D# G# D#
Folks I’d like to say this song’s for you but to tell it like it is
A#7 D#
If you don’t mind this one’s for the Arizona Whiz
