Verse 1
D 
Abel Carlos Zaragoza
left his home in Casas Grande
Em 
when the moon was full
A 
No money in his pocket,
G 
A 
D 
just a locket of his sister framed in gold
And he rode into El Sueco,
Em 
stole a rooster called Gallo del Cielo
A 
Then he swam the Rio Grande
G 
with that fighter nestled
A 
D 
deep beneath his arms
Well, Gallo del Cielo
was a rooster born in heaven,
A 
Em 
so the legends say
A 
His wings they had been broken,
G 
A 
D 
he had one eye rolling crazy in his hand
And he fought a hundred fights,
and the legends say that one
G 
Em 
night near El Suego
A 
They fought Cielo seven times,
G 
A 
D 
A 
seven times he left brave roosters dead
G 
Oh, my Teresa,
A 
I am thinking of you now in San Antonio
Em 
I have twenty -seven dollars,
and the good luck of your picture
A 
framed in gold
G 
Tonight I'll bet it all on the fighting spurs
A 
of Coyote Hill, Seattle
Em 
F#m 
And then I'll return to buy   the land
G 
A 
D 
G 
D 
Vila  stole from father long ago
Outside of San Diego
Em 
In the onion fields of Poco Marte Verde
A 
The pride of San Diego
G 
A 
D 
A 
D 
lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk
And they laughed when Zaragoza
pulled a one -eyed Dale Cielo
Em 
from beneath his coat
A 
And they cried when Zaragoza
G 
A 
walked away with a thousand dollar bill
F#m 
G 
Oh,   my Teresa,
A 
I am thinking of you now in Santa Barbara
Em 
I have 1   ,500
and the good luck of your
A 
picture framed in gold
G 
Tonight I'll bet it all on the fighting spurs
A 
of Coyote, El Cielo
Em 
F#m 
And then I'll return to buy   the land
G 
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
Bill I stole from father long ago
Em 
A 
G 
A 
D 
Em 
A 
G 
A 
D 
A 
D 
Now the moon has gone to hiding
And the lantern light spills shadows
Em 
far across the sand
A 
Hey, wicked black names are all faces
G 
A 
Guy O'Dell's yellow in the night
D 
And Carlos Zaragoza fears
the tiny crack
Em 
that runs across this rooster's beak
A 
And he fears that he has lost
G 
the fifty thousand
A 
D 
that is riding on his bike
G 
Oh my Theresa,
A 
I am thinking of you now in Santa Clara
Em 
All my money's on the table
I'm holding to your good
D 
A 
luck framed in gold
G 
And everything we've dreamed of
A 
is riding on the spurs of Del Cielo
Em 
F#m 
I pray that I'll return to buy   the land
G 
A 
D 
G 
D 
Vila  stole from father long ago
Then the signal it was given
A 
And the cocks rose together
Em 
far above the sand
A 
G 
Cayo del Cielo sunk a gaffe
A 
D 
A 
D 
In the Zorro's shiny breast
They were separated quickly
But they rose and fought each other
Em 
thirty -seven  times
A 
And the legends say that everyone agreed
G 
A 
D 
that Del Cielo fought the be st
Then the screamed Zaragoza fiddled
Em 
her outside the town of Santa Clara
A 
As the beak of Del Cielo
G 
A 
D 
lay broken like a shell within his hand
A 
D 
And  they say that Zaragoza screamed a curse upon the
A 
Em 
A 
bones of Pancho Villa Windsor all rose up one last time
G 
A 
and drove El Cielo to the sand
D 
G 
Hola, my Teresa,
I am thinking of you now in
A 
San Francisco
Em 
There's no money in my pockets,
A 
I no longer have your good luck framed in gold
G 
I buried it last evening
A 
with the bones of my beloved El Cielo
Em 
F#m 
And I'll not return to buy the land,
G 
A 
D 
feel I stole from father long ago
G 
Do the rivers still run muddy
A 
outside of my beloved Casa Grande?
Em 
Does the scar upon my brother's face
turn red
G 
A 
when he hears mention of my name?
G 
Do the people of El Suego
A 
still curse the theft of Gallo del Cielo?
Em 
F#m 
Tell my  family not to worry,
G 
A 
D 
I  will not return to cause them shame
G
