[Intro]

D D/C# D/B A

D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A

I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind.

Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A

I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind.

Am7 D Am7 D

And the border meant freedom, a new life, romance,

Am7 D G D/F# Em D

And that's why I thought I should go,

Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A

And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico.

D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A

My first night in Juarez, lost all the money I had.

Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A

One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad.

Am7 D Am7 D

But I must keep on runnin'; it's too late to turn back:

Am7 D G D/F# Em D

I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told.

Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A

Yeah, an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico.

D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A

Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say,

Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A

Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half-loaded with hay.

Am7 D Am7 D

Down through Durango,Palima,Palmira,

Am7 D G D/F# Em D

Then in the Manzanio,

Em A Em A D A Bb Bb

Where I slept IN THE SUNSHINE on the seashores of old Mexico.

My new-found companion, one young senorita,

Who offered a broken hello,

To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico.

E E/Eb E/Db B F#m B F#m B

She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return,
