EOne and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
Of BNew Mexico
B7On  C#m7the   B7/D#last leg of the journey 
They started a long tC#mime ago
The arc of a love afBmaj7fair
Rainbows in the Ahigh desert air 
EMountain passes slipping into stoAnes 
Hearts and boC#mnes 
Hearts and boneAs 
Hearts and boneEs 
E     A   E   B     E    A   B    E
EThinking back to the season before 
Looking back through the cracks in the door 
Two people were married 
The act was outrageous 
The bride was contagious 
She bBurned like a bride 
B7These eC#mvents maB7y have had some effect 
On the man with the C#mgirl by his side
   F#7The arc of a love aBmaj7ffair
AHis hands rolling down her hair 
ELove like lightning shaking till it mAoans 
Hearts and boneC#ms 
Hearts and bonAes 
Hearts and bonEes
N.C.
And whoa whoa whoa 
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night 
We'll wake up down in MexiAco 
   N.C.
Oh I 
I don't know nothin' about nothin' about 
No MexAico 
             N.C.
And tell me why 
Why won't you love me 
For who I am 
Where I aAm 
He said:

EThis is how I love you, baby

One and one-half wandering Jews 
Return to their natural coasts
