Chords for Billy Walker Matamoros 1965

_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
In old Mexico I stand on the [G] square in _ Matamoros
[A] Round the plaza the couples are walking to [D] music so sweet _
I found my love not too long ago [G] in _ Matamoros
[A] But I'm feeling low as the beggar who sits [D] in the street _
[G] Oh the promises that she made me with eyes black as midnight _
[E] How could I know how fickle her [A] promise could be _
[D] Now I'm back to find what I feel is [G] mine in Matamoros
[A] And there'll be bad trouble if I catch her [D] cheating on me
Streets are narrow and dark and tequila runs [G] free in Matamoros
[A] I stop for one moment outside of [D] Miguel's swinging door _
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting [G] sounds of Granada _
[A] She once called it our song and vowed she'd be [D] mine evermore _
[G] Then across the square with this wild young vaquero I see her
_ [E] Laughing and dancing and tossing her [A] raven black hair _
[D] Fate may take a hand when I face this [G] man from Matamoros
[A] For the love of my woman is one thing that [D] I'll never share _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Now I walk in the night far away from the [G] lights of Matamoros _
[A] And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me [D] more than life _
I can still hear her cry I love you and I'll prove [G] it mañana _ _
[A] Then seeing my danger she jumped in front [D] of his knife _
[G] I know the stories they'll tell in the dim lit casino _ _
[E] Of the raven-haired beauty who for her love lay dead [A] on the floor
_ [A] _
[D] They'll speak of the fight with the gringo that night [G] in _ Matamoros
[A] And wonder what happened for he never returned [D] anymore
_ [G] _ _ [A] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
