Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
He
was fresh out of Texas,
D 
swore that he'd never go back
He'd ridden the river too many
G 
C 
G 
times to keep track
He didn't go with the buffalo
C 
who said the north country's too cold
D 
Or is it because someone's
G 
C 
G 
waiting in New Mexico?
He stops in the cottonwoods,
D 
figures he's foolin' himself
Then he'd rather have memories
G 
C 
G 
than find out she found someone else
So he's ridin' away
C 
as Natalia steps out in the yard
D 
She cries out his name,
G 
once again he's in her arms.
C 
And she says, old gringo,
have you figured out
G 
this could be home?
D 
Texas don't need you,
G 
you belong in New Mexico.
C 
We'll turn back the clock,
be like kids once again.
D 
As even old gringos
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
can become new Mexicans.
C 
And the trail still calls,
G 
he don't ride far
A 
D 
Till he's back home again
C 
Here in New Mexico,
G 
Cerca del Cuervo,
D 
G 
home of the New Mexicans
C 
And  she says, old gringo,
have you figured out
G 
this could be home?
D 
Texas don't need you,
you belong in New Mexico
G 
C 
We'll turn back the clock,
be like kids once again
D 
Cause even old gringos
can become new Mexicans
G 
C 
D 
Even old gringos
can become new Mexicans
G 
C
