[A] [D]
[A]
[D] I remember the palm trees swaying,
Across the river the sweet music [Bm] playing,
[A] Down on the Rio Grande.
[D] Out on the levees, with the full moon above me,
My Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me,
[A] Down on the Rio Grande.
[D] [E] Laughing and singing in the warm night air,
[D] Loving that woman with the raving [Bm] hair we [A] wore,
Down on the Rio Grande.
[D] Rolling with my lover hand in hand,
Lord [B] I'd [Bm] give anything to [E] be down on the [A] Rio Grande.
[D]

[D] Endless highways and wide open spaces,
Children smile with their sunburned faces,
[A] Down on the Rio Grande.
[D] All the love that my lady was giving,
Was the sweetest part [F#m] of [Bm] living,
[A] Down on the Rio Grande.
And [B] if [E] these memories could take me there,
[D] I'd be loving my woman with the raving [A] hair,
I'd be down on the Rio Grande.
[D] Rolling with my lover hand in hand,
[Bm] Lord I'd give anything to be [E] down on the [A] Rio Grande.
Down on the Rio Grande.
