Intro: Am-E-Am Am I'm Leaving Houston C When I put my boots on G Am I'm driving that lonesome highway Am (3x) Am South of the border C To the crystal clear waters G Of a town called durango bay Am (3x) Am There's a woman Maria C I can't wait to see her G It's there that she waits patiently Am (3x) Am With a young senorita C By the name of Rosita G Am They say sure looks alot like me F South of the border G By crystal clear waters E Am I'm going back there someday F Where a woman waits for me G I'll never be lonely E Am On the banks of Durango Bay Break Am-F-E-C-Am Am In those days long ago C How I loved that girl so G Am We were so happy and free Am (3x) Am Spent our days together C Thought I'd stay together G Am In the town of Durango Bay Am (3x) Am But her father and mother C Thought she should wed another G Am So they sent Maria away Am (3x) Am But not before we made love C Under the stars above G Am in the fields of Durango Bay Chorus F South of the border G By crystal clear waters E Am I'm going back there someday F Where a woman waits for me G I'll never be lonely E Am On the banks of Durango Bay Single notes: Am-C-G-Am (slowly spoken words with one strum of each chord) Am I still feel the flame burn C It's for her my heart yearns G What a terrible price to pay Am But now she is calling C Once again I am falling Am Am For the girl from Durango Bay Am (3x) Chorus Out Am-C-G-Am L
