Intro 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) We were standin' on a (A minor) mountain top
(C major) Where the cactus flowers (G major) grow
I was wishin' that the (A minor) world would stop
(C major) When you said we'd better go (G major)
We took a rowboat across the (A minor) Rio Grande
(C major) Captain Pablo was our (G major) guide
For two dollars in a weathered (F major) hand
(C major) He rowed us to the other side (G major)

(G major) We stepped out onto the (A minor) golden sand
(C major) The sun was high and burning down (G major)
Rented donkeys from an old (A minor) blind man
(C major) Saddled up and rode to (G major) town
Tied our donkeys to an (A minor) ironwood tree
(C major) By the street where children (G major) play
We walked in the first place (F major) we could see
(C major) Servin' cold beer in the shade (G major)
Chorus 2

(G major) Met a cowboy who (A minor) said that he
(C major) Was running from the DE (G major) A
He left a home, a wife, and (A minor) family
(C major) When he made his getaway (G major)
We followed him on down a street (A minor) of dust
(C major) To his run-down one- room (G major) shack
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled (F major) at us
(C major) "I ain't never goin' back" (G major)
Chorus 3
(D major) We were flyin' like
(E minor) the end was not in sight
(C major) And we soared that afternoon (G major)

(E minor) so we could celebrate
(C major) A gringo honeymoon

Verse 4
(G major) He said there's one last place
that (A minor) you should go
(C major) He took us to the town's best (G major) bar
He knew a crusty caballe (A minor) ro
(C major) Who played an old gut-string gui (G major) tar
And he sang like Marty Rob (A minor) bins could
(C major) Played like no one (G major) I've known
For a while we knew that life (F major) was good
(C major) It was ours to take back (G major) home
