Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In my [D]ima[G]gin[C]ati[D]on,[C][G][C][D][G][D]
[G]I'm finding consolation
Somewhere along the Rio Grande
Sadly I'm reminiscing,
madly again [D]I'm kissing
Someone along the Rio [G]Grande

[Verse 2]
[G]It happened in Monterey, [A]a l[Am]ong time a[D]go
I met her in [G]Monterey, in old [C]Mexico
[G]Sta[D]rs [G]and[Am] steel gui[G]tars
[A]And lus[Bbdim]cious lip[Am]s, as red[D] as win[G]e
[Am]Broke somebody's heart
[D]And I'm afraid that it was[B] min[C]e[D]
[G]It happened in [Bdim]Monterey
[A]Without [F]thi[E]nking[G] twi[D]ce
[A]I left her and[D] threw away the key[B]
[Cm]to p[Ebdim]ara dis e[D][C][B][E]
My indiscreet heart,
[A]longs for the sweetheart
That [G]I left in old M[Ebdim]onterey[D][G]
[C][D]
