INTRO


                   Em      D              G
And I dream in the morning, she brings me water,
               A                      D
And I dream in evening, she brings me wine.
                  G        C
Just a poor man's daughter,
              G
From Puerto Penasco.
      D               G
Evangelina in old Mexico.



                    Em     D             G
There's a great hot desert, south of Mexicali.
                      A                         D
And if you don't have water, boy you better not go.
              G       C
Tequila won't get you,
            G 
Across that desert.
         D               G
To Evangelina in old Mexico.



        Bm                  F
And the fire I feel for the woman I love,
   C            G
Is driving me insane.
              D      
Knowing she's waiting,
C            G
 And I can't get there.
    Bm                       F
And God only knows that I've racked my brain,
   C             G
To try to find a way,
              D                G
To reach that woman in old Mexico.

INSTRUMENTAL



            Em       D               G
And I met a kind man, he guarded the border.
                        A                    D
He said 'You don't need papers, I'll let you go'.
                    G        C
I can tell that you love her,
                    G
By the look in your eyes now.
                      D
She's the rose of the desert,
           G
In old Mexico.

I miss you so.
