F  G  Am 
This day the visitor made a trip to my town 
F  G  E  Am 
We all were dancing 'til he took the beat away 
F  G  Am 
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail 
Dm  F 
Sit down late at night 
Dm  F 
Completely out of sight 
Dm  F  G 
Left his message etched inside my brain

Me and my old corvette we were flying through the night 
Chasing my blonde lover down the sky line 
I saw a tail light flash to the voyager crash 
It was great to late 
When she hit the break 
She went spinning with that screathy sound

And when the gates are closed to the road of plenty 
A fist come poundning down, you feel it every day 
And you can't recognize if you're full or empty 
Here it comes again 
You count on your old friends 
But now they're not so easily found

Up in the Gold Hotel the money hits the table  
The heavies all are there, that's why the deal's goin' down 
Beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable 
Down upon the street 
Beside a garbage heap 
A Mariachi band began to play.

In Eldorado town there an old bullfighter 
His eyes are screaming blue, his hair is red as blood 
And when the gates go up the crowd gets so excited 
And he comes dancin' out 
Dressed in gold lami 
He kills the bull and lives another day.
