[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
I [C]left, out of [G]Tucson,
with [Am]no destin[G]a tion in mi[Dm]nd
[G][Dm][G]
I was [Dm]runnin' from [G]trouble
and the [Dm]jail-term
the [G]Judge had in [C]mind[G][Am][G]
And the [Gm]border meant [C]freedom,
a [Gm]new life, [C]romance
And [Gm]that's why I [C]thought I should [F]go
[C][Dm][F]
And [Dm]start my life [G]over on
the [Dm]seashores of [G]old Mexi[C]co
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
My [C]first night in [G]Juarez,
[Am]lost all the [G]money I [Dm]had[G][Dm][G]
One [Dm]bad seño[G]rita
made [Dm]use of one [G]innocent l[C]ad
[G][Am][G]
But I [Gm]must keep on [C]runnin';
it's [Gm]too late to t[C]urn back:
I'm [Gm]wanted in [C]Tucson, [F]I'm told
[C][Dm][F]
Yeah, an' [Dm]things'll blow [G]over on
the [Dm]seashores of [G]old Mexi[C]co
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
Two [C]Mexican [G]farmers
en [Am]route to a [G]town I can't [Dm]say
[G][Dm][G]
Let me [Dm]ride on the [G]back of a [Dm]flatbed
half[G]loaded with [C]hay[G][Am][G]
[Gm]Down through Du[C]rango, Co[Gm]lima, Al[C]miera,
[Gm]then in the [C]Manzanil[F]lo
[C][Dm][F]
Where I [Dm]slept in the [G]sunshine on
the [Dm]seashores of [G]old Mexi[C]co[Ab]

[Verse 4]
After [Db]one long sie[Ab]sta,
I [Bbm]came wide aw[Db]ake in the n[Ebm]ight
[Ab][Ebm][Ab]
I was [Ebm]startled by [Ab]someone
who [Ebm]shadowed the [Ab]pale moon[Db]light
[Ab][Bbm][Db]
My [Abm]new-found com[Db]panion,
one [Abm]young seño[Db]rita
Who [Abm]offered a [Db]broken hel[Gb]lo
[Bbm][Ebm][Gb]
To the [Ebm]gringo she [Ab]found on
the [Ebm]sea shores of ol[Ab]d Mexico[Db][A]

[Verse 5]
She [D]spoke of So[A]nora
and [Bm]swore that she'd [D]never re[Em]turn
[A][Em][A]
For her [Em]Mexican [A]husband,
she [Em]really had [A]no great con[D]cern
[A][Bm][D]
Cause [Am]she loved the [D]gringo,
my [Am]red hair and [D]lingo
[Am]That's all I [D]needed to [G]know
[Bm][Em][G]
Yeah, I [Em]found what I [A]needed on
the [Em]seashores of [A]old Mexi[D]co
[A][Bm][D]
Yeah, [Am]she loved the [D]gringo,
my [Am]red hair and [D]lingo
[Am]That's all I [D]needed to [G]know
[Bm][Em][G]
Yeah, I [Em]found what I [A]needed on
the [Em]seashores of [A]old Mexico
