Gallo De Cielo chords by 
Tom Russell
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Carlos Zaragoza left his home in Casas
Em
Grandes when the moon was full
A
No money in his pocket,
D
just a locket of his sister framed in gold
He rode into El Sueco, stole a rooster
Em
called Gallo Del Cielo
A
Then he swam the Rio Grande
G
with that fighter nestled
A
D
Deep beneath his arm.
Verse 2
D
El Gallo Del Cielo was a rooster born
Em
in heaven so the legends say
A
His wings they had been broken,
he had one eye
D
Rollin' crazy in his head
And he'd fought a hundred fights,
and the legends say
Em
That one night near El Sueco
A
They'd fought Gallo seven times,
G
and seven times he'd
A
D
Left brave roosters dead.
Verse 3
G
Hola, my Theresa,
A
I am thinking of you now in San Antonio
Em
A
Em
I have 27 dollars and the good
luck of your picture
A
Framed in gold
G
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting
A
spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
Em
A
And then I'll return to buy
G
the land Villa stole
A
From father long ago.
D
Verse 4
Outside of San Diego,
Em
in the onion fields of Paco Monteverde
A
The Pride of San Diego lay sleeping
D
on a fancy bed of silk
And they laughed when Zaragoza
pulled the one- eyed
Em
Del Cielo from beneath his coat
A
But they cried when Zaragoza
G
walked away with a
A
D
Thousand dollar bill.
Verse 5
G
Hola, my Theresa,
A
I am thinking of you now in Santa Barbara
Em
A
I have fifteen hundred dollars
Em
and the good luck of
A
Your picture framed in gold
G
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting
A
spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
Em
A
And then I'll return to buy
G
the land Villa stole
A
From father long ago.

Verse 6
D
Now the moon has gone to
hiding and the lantern light
Em
Spills shadows on a fighting sand
A
Where a wicked black named Zorro faces
D
Gallo del Cielo in the night
But Carlos Zaragoza fears the tiny crack
Em
that runs across his rooster's beak
A
G
And he fears he has lost the fifty thousand
A
D
dollars riding on the fight.
Verse 7
G
Hola, my Theresa,
A
I am thinking of you now in Santa Clara
Em
A
Yes, the money's on the table,
Em
I am holding to
A
Your good luck framed in gold
G
And everything we've dreamed of is
A
riding on the spurs of Del Cielo
Em
A
I pray that I'll return to buy the land
G
A
Villa stole from father long ago.
D
Verse 8
Then the signal it was given,
and the cocks rose
Em
Together far above the sand
A
El Gallo del Cielo sunk a gaff into
D
Zorro's shiny breast
They were separated quickly
but they rose and fought
Em
Each other thirty seven times
A
And the le gends say that everyone agreed
G
A
that del Cielo fought the best.
D
Verse 9
Then the screams of Zaragoza
filled the night outside
Em
The town of Santa Clara
A
As the beak of del Cielo lay broken
D
like a shell within his hand
And they say that Zaragoza
screamed a curse upon the
Em
Bones of Pancho Villa
A
When Zorro rose up one last
G
time and drove del
A
D
Cielo through the sand.
Verse 10
G
Hola, my Theresa,
I am thinking of you now in
A
San Francisco
Em
A
I have no money in my pocket,
Em
I no longer have
A
Your good luck framed in gold
G
I buried it last evening with
the bones of my
A
Beloved Del Cielo
Em
A
And I'll not return to buy
G
the land Villa stole from
A
D
Father long ago.
Verse 11
G
Do the rivers still run muddy
outside of my beloved
A
Casas Grandes?
Verse 12
Em
A
Oes the scar upon my brother's
Em
face turn red when
A
He hears mention of my name?
G
Do the people of El Sueco curse
A
the theft of Gallo del Cielo?
Em
A
Well, tell my family not to worry,
G
I will not return
A
D
To cause them shame.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
