[D] We're here live in Studio 1A with Robert Earl Keene and Lyle Levitt.
I believe it's your turn, Mr.
Keene.
We were standing on a mountain [Em] top
[G]
Where the cactus [D] flowers grow
I was wishing [Em] the world would stop
[G]
When you said we'd [D] better go
We took a rowboat [Em] across the Rio Grande
[G]
Captain Pablo [D] was our guide
Four [A] two dollars [C] in a weathered hand
[D] [G] He rode us to the [D] other side
[A] We were dreaming [Bm] like it was night [G] outside
And we dreamed all [D] afternoon
[A] I said we'll [Bm] wait, we're gonna [G] celebrate
The [D] gringo honeymoon
[G] [D] We stepped out onto the [Em] golden sand
[G] The sun was high [D] and burning down
Rented donkeys [E] from an old blind [Em] [G] man
Saddled up and [D] rode to town
Died of donkeys [Em] to an ironwood tree
[G] By the stream where [D] children played
We went in the first [C] place we could see
[G] Serving cold [D] beer in the shade
[A] We were drinking [Bm] like it was night [G] outside
And we drank [D] all afternoon
[A] I said we'll [Bm] wait, we're gonna [G] celebrate
The gringo [D] honeymoon
Met a cowboy [Em] who said that he
[G] Was running from the [D] D.A.
He left his home, his [Em] wife and family
[G] When he made [D] his good way
We followed him on down [Em] a street of dust
[G] To his wandering [D] run down shack
He blew a smoke ring [C] and he smiled at [G] us
I ain't [D] never going back
[A] We were [Em] flying [Bm] like it was night [G] outside
And we saw that [D] afternoon
[A] I said we'll [Bm] wait, we're gonna [G] celebrate
The gringo [D] honeymoon
[G]
[D]
He said there's one last [Em] place that you should go
[G] He took us to the town's [D] best bar
He knew a crusty [Em] cappietto
He [G] played an old gut [D] string guitar
And he sang like [Em] Marty Robbins could
[G] Played like no [D] one I've known
For a while we [C] knew that life was [G] good
And it was ours [D] to take back home
[A] We were singing [Bm] like it was [G] night outside
And we sang all [D] afternoon
[D] I said [A] we'll [Bm] wait, we're gonna [G] celebrate
The gringo [D] honeymoon
We were standing on a mountain [Em] top
[G] Where the cactus [D] flowers grow
I was wishing the [Em] world would stop
[G] When he said we [D] better go
To
[N]
heaven's door
[C]
