_ On the Chisholm Trail it was midnight, _ Carmela was strong [F#] on his mind.
[G#] Because of the life he had chosen, Carmela had left him [C#] behind.
_ Too long had been El Bandito, _ Carmela had left him [F#] alone.
_ But today someone [C#] brought a message, [G#] she'd been seen in old [C#] San Antonio.
_ [F#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, ride hard and I'll make it by dawn.
[C#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, [G#] I'm safe when I reach [C#] San Antonio.
He glanced back over his shoulder, the posse was nowhere [F#] in sight.
[G#] It sent for Carmela to meet him on the [D#m] banks of the Brazos [C#] tonight.
_ She was waiting and he kept a promise he'd made such a long [F#] time ago.
As he dropped the guns that [C#] she hated [G#] in the muddy Brazos [C#]
below.
_ [F#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, ride hard and I'll make it by dawn.
[C#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, [C] I'll walk straight [G#] in old [C#] San Antonio.
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ Then the night came alive with gunfire, he knew that at last [F#] he'd been found.
[G#] As the rangers' beds showed brightly, El Bandito lay [C#] on the ground.
_ Carmela knew he was dying, that all of her dreams were [F#] in vain.
As she kissed his lips for [C#] the last time, [G#] she heard him whisper [C#]
again.
[A#m] _ [F#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, ride hard and I'll make it by dawn.
[C#] Cross the Brazos and Waco, [G#] I'm safe when I reach [C#] San Antonio.
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [G#] I'm safe when I reach San [C#] Antonio. _ _ _ _
