Verse 1
Isabel (A minor) and her brown skin shined like

lawman who lived by the gun (G major)
He got cross (A minor) ways with the cartel
they shot down his only son Jose (F major)

Verse 2
(G major)
I (F major) hear the grass is greener just beyond
that Laredo border line (A minor)
They say (G major) freedom is much sweeter than
sweet blood red sangri (A minor) a wine
(G major) South (F major) Texas looks like heaven when
you're down here in this living (A minor) hell

the coast is clear Isa (F major) bel
The coast is clear Isabel

(G major) They (A minor) came across our homestead tired and hungry,

stretching wire and driving post all (F major) day
While Isabel (C major) worked with my mother and late at night
I held her tight and (G major) she'd take my breath away

that little boy she holds is my son (G major)
We got a green (A minor) card for her father Mariano
but it came two years too (F major) late
We got (C major) word that he'd been gunned down
in a border town shot in the back (G major)
The last thing they heard him say
