Farewell (G major) to the lights of Mader (B minor) a,
I'm leaving (C major) with the wind at my (G major) back

Verse 2
I'll miss the sun (G major) on the Sierra Nevadas,
(B minor) (G major) (B minor) (C major) adobe moon on the rise (G major)
Shining down on my love in Mader (B minor) a,
shining (C major) into her dark Spanish (G major) eyes
Oh she taught me those Mexican
love (E minor) songs (G major)
"Volver, Volver" in my dreams (E minor)
And I miss (C major) the Rose (C minor) of San Joaquin (G major)
Caught somewhere between (E minor)
The road (C major) and the Rose (C minor) of San Joa
