[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
Me and them boys, we [Cm] cinched up our [Ab] saddles and rode
Just an oil last [Eb] night Guns high and proud, [Cm] and dared not lie
[Ab] For anyone who [Eb] looked in the fire [Ab] Caught cheats and [Eb] russers would run
For their holes, when the [Ab] boys and the old [Bb] broken [Bb] home
[Eb] Rode up and rained [Cm] on the street that they named
[Ab] [Eb] Sonora was their bro, their sky was free [Cm] And a man to salute, [Ab] for the boys and the old [Eb] broken home
Saturday nights in [Cm] the town of Sonora [Ab] Are best in all [Eb] Mexico
[Ab] They got guitars and [Eb] trumpets and sweet senoritas [Ab] Who won't wanna let [Bb] you go
[Eb] You'd never believe, [Cm] such a gay happy town [Ab] On a street called [Eb] Sonora's dead wrong
Inside Amanda's, [Cm] we was a-dancing [Ab] with all [Eb] Amanda's gals
I want some silver, [Cm] said the guard's shy [Ab] So I was out doing my pal's
With a whiskey and [Eb] mascap, and some cigar [Ab] Drove me outside for [Bb] some air
[Eb] Somebody whispered in [Cm] my eye, for your money [Ab] I reached, but my gun wasn't [Eb]
there

I woke up this night, [Cm] and Amanda's back I [Ab] lay aware, of the fool [Eb] I'd been
Rushed to my pony, [Cm] and grabbed my Winchester [Ab] Then it hurt Amanda's [Eb]
again
[Ab] I saw my [Eb] partners twirling my pistols [Ab] And throwing my money [Bb] around
I got angry, [Eb] [Cm] I jacked the lever [Ab] And one of them fell to [Eb] the ground
Amanda's went silent like [Cm] not in the desert [Ab] My friends stared in pure [Eb] disbelief
Amanda was kneeling beside the dead cowboy [Ab] Plainly expressing her grief
[Eb] As I bound my head, [Eb] a tremble shot through me [Ab] My six-gun was still at [Bb] my side
[Eb] I felt my pockets, [Cm] there was my money [Ab] I fell to my knees and [Eb] died for a

A nightmare of mascap [Cm] was all that it was [Ab] For no one had robbed [Eb] me at all
I wish I was [Cm] dreaming the sound of the [Ab] gallows They're testing just [Eb] outside the wall
[Ab] And mascap's still [Eb] free, and Amanda's [Ab] salute For the boys from the old [Bb] broken [Bb] home
[Eb] I'd give a ransom [Cm] to drink any day [Ab] Be free of [Eb] Sonora's death row
Yes, I'd give a ransom [Cm] to drink any day [Ab] Be free of [Eb] Sonora's death row
