Verse 1
(G major) (C major) A cowboy rode one day
down to old Monterey,
Across the sleepy Rio Grande. (G major)
He met a lovely gal, a señorita gal,
With eyes that seemed to understand.
(C major) While sweet guitars were softly play (D major) ing,
(G major) Across the floor they
(D minor) soon were (G major) swaying. (C major)
Me like you, she kept on (D major) saying,
(G major) And she would gently
squeeze his (C major) hand. (D major)
She'd say me (G major) like to talk,
to take a little walk,
She'd say me (C major) like to kiss,
his heart would skip and miss.
Was (D major) the nearest thing to (G major) heaven,
To heaven hold her tight
until the morning light,
Was too (C major) sweet to last,
that night of love soon passed.
He rode away from old Monterey (G major)
and (D major) left her alone to pine (G major)
He's going (C major) back across the bor (G major) der
to see the gal of yesterday
(C major) And they will dance the guitar polka (G major)
when he returns to Monterey (C major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) He's going (C major) back across the bor (G major) der
to see the gal of yesterday
(C major) And they will dance the guitar polka (G major)
when he returns to Monterey. (C major)
(G major) When he returns to Monterey. (C major)
