Verse 1 : For a change I headed south across the border
                    G          C         G       D
          For the pesos and a different horse to ride
                  D                G  C     D
          I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
                        G                                A

Verse 2 : Oh her long black hair and English bad and broken
               G             C         G        D

                D             G        C       D
          As I hung on every word she left unspoken
                   G                             A
          Oh the question started leaning on my mind

                   G                 C         G        D
          And you just don't tell a girl like that goodbye
                   D                 G   C      D

                        G                               A
          Though lying there I couldn' help but wonder why

Verse 4 : Well the morning found the answer dawning on me
                G               C       G      D
