Run For The Border chords by Johnny Rodriguez

Verse 1
D
A
D
A hundred dollars over the border,
A
a thousand miles out of my mind.
Oh, what was I thinkin',
D
thinkin' I could drink all that Mexican wine?
And who in the world is this woman?
I've never seen her before
G
But I've got a feeling that
D
she's got a husband
A
D
Someone just kicked down the door
A
Better run for the border
D
He's never gonna understand
G
Better find a place to hide
A
D
on the other side of the Rio Grande
Jose's tall, dark and handsome
A
She said as she reached for her clothes
But he's mean as a snake
when his woman you take
D
right from under his nose
I said this is a great time to tell me
G
She said, I thought he was in jail
Well, I'm Jose's wife,
D
Jose's got a knife
A
And Jose is hot on your trail
D
A
Better run for the border
D
Jose, he is a dangerous man
G
Better find a place to hide
A
D
A
D
On the other side of the Rio Grande
So I ran through the streets of Laredo
A
Naked as the day I was born
People were staring and clapping
D
And laughing and honking their horns
As I passed the church on the corner,
I thought about stopping to pray
G
Then a voice from the blues said,
D
I'll watch over you,
A
but we better stay ahead of Jose
D
A
Better run for the border,
D
Jose he is a dangerous man
G
Better find a place to hide
A
D
on the other side of the Rio Grande
A
Better run for the border,
D
Jose will never understand
G
Better find a place to hide
A
D
on the other side of the Rio Grande
A
Better run for the border
D
José, he is a dangerous man
G
Better find a place to hide
A
D
On the other side of the Rio Grande
