 A   D    A   E\    A     A   E\    A   A  
AMy name is Del Gato born Bmclose to the border
from Dwhite blood and red blood I Acame
I travel the saddle I Bmfollow the cattle
DFar out on the range where they Agraze
And I jEust ride in from a Dhard south western dArive
My Elips parched and bloodied
My Dface torn by sand storms and Apride
ARoyalty riches and Bminner bred ditches   
Was the Dbrew that I drank as a Achild
So rebellious a lover Don BmJuan as a my cover
They Ddie cast my type called me Awild  
AAnd I Ejust ride in from a Dhard southwestern dArive
The Ehanging tree is Dwaiting for me to arArive
 A   D    A   E\    A     A   E\    A  A  
AStructured political our Bmchildren they ridiculed
They Dteach them of sins and to Alie
Their schools built by fools but by Bmbreaking the rules
Like a Dfox I am forced now to Ahide
And I jEust ride in from a Dhard south western dArive
My Elips parched and bloodied
My Dface torn by sand storms and Apride
ANow the pepper tree spreads taking Bmmany mans heads            
But the Done they would want most is Amine 
To the mission I go in San BmJuan and I kneel
And I Dpray for the love of my Alife
And I jEust ride in from a Dhard south western dArive
My Elips parched and bloodied
My Dface torn by sand storms and Apride
AAnd I Ejust ride in from a Dhard southwestern dArive
The Ehanging tree is Dwaiting for me to arArive

A D A E A A E A A

A Bm

My name is Del Gato born close to the border

D A

from white blood and red blood I came

I travel the saddle I follow the cattle

D A

Far out on the range where they graze

E D A

And I just ride in from a hard south western drive

My lips parched and bloodied

D A

My face torn by sand storms and pride

A Bm

Royalty riches and inner bred ditches

D A

Was the brew that I drank as a child

So rebellious a lover Don Juan as a my cover

D A

They die cast my type called me wild

A E D A

And I just ride in from a hard southwestern drive

E D A

The hanging tree is waiting for me to arrive

A D A E A A E A A

\ \

A Bm

Structured political our children they ridiculed

D A

They teach them of sins and to lie

Their schools built by fools but by breaking the rules

D A

Like a fox I am forced now to hide

E D A

And I just ride in from a hard south western drive

My lips parched and bloodied

D A

My face torn by sand storms and pride

A Bm

Now the pepper tree spreads taking many mans heads

D A

But the one they would want most is mine

To the mission I go in San Juan and I kneel

D A

And I pray for the love of my life

E D A

And I just ride in from a hard south western drive

My lips parched and bloodied

D A

My face torn by sand storms and pride

A E D A

And I just ride in from a hard southwestern drive

E D A

The hanging tree is waiting for me to arrive

A D A E A A E A A
