(Capo on 2)
[Intro]
G G
GThis is my third night under bright shooting stars
I have Ccrossed into GMexico, maybe that's where you Dare
You Ctold me you'd Gcome here, if our love should Cend
Eighty miles past the Gborder on the DMexican Gwind G  G  D  
So I Gfollowed the dusty roads into Flores Magon
And they Csaid you had Gleft there for Aquiles Ser- Ddan
You Ctold me you'd Gcome here, if our love should Cend
Eighty miles past the Gborder on the DMexican Gwind
[Chorus]
There's a Cplace in the desert where we let it be- Ggin
We would Cdance close together as the candles would Gdim
In a quiet can- Ctina with sweet mando- Glins
As they'd serenade Amsoftly Gon Dthe Mexican wiGnd
[Instrumental]
Am G D D G C G D
My Glife seems to slow down, the further I go
CInto the Gbare heart of old Mexi- Dco
Still I keep Csearching for Gsomeone who once let me Cin
But somehow I Glost him to the DMexican Gwind
[Chorus]
There's a Cplace in the desert where we let it be- Ggin
We would Cdance close together as the candles would Gdim
In a quiet can- Ctina with sweet mando- Glins
As they'd serenade Amsoftly Gon Dthe Mexican wiEmndB  
Eighty Cmiles past the Gborder on the DMexican wind G---
