                  D               G      C         D 
Verse 1 : For a change I headed south across the border 
                    G          C         G       D 
          For the pesos and a different horse to ride 
                  D                G  C     D 
          I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco 
                        G                                A 
          But that was long before I saw them dark brown eyes 
 
                  D                   G       C        D 
Verse 2 : Oh her long black hair and English bad and broken 
               G             C         G        D 
          Her body said the words she couldn't find 
                D             G        C       D 
          As I hung on every word she left unspoken 
                   G                             A 
          Oh the question started leaning on my mind 
 
              D  G     D            C               G           A

              D  G     D            C         G             A 
          Rodeo__o or Mexico, the only way I know how to decide 
                            ( D ) 
          Is just get on and ride

Verse 3 : We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton 
                   G                 C         G        D 
          And you just don't tell a girl like that goodbye 
                   D                 G   C      D 
          But the cowboy life ain't easiliy forgotten 
                        G                               A 
          Though lying there I couldn' help but wonder why

Verse 4 : Well the morning found the answer dawning on me 
                G               C       G      D 
          As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife 
                         D              G     C      D 
          Well he was screaming at the woman hanging on me 
                   G                              A 
          Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?

Comments : Play the D/G Chord at the end of the solo like a standard 
D-Chord, but put the thumb of your hand on the third fret of the thick 
E-String and play a G in the bass with it.
