[Cm]
[Ab] [Eb]
Me and the boys [Cm] we cinched up our saddles [Ab] and rode to Sonora [Eb] last night
Guns hanging proud [Cm] and daring out loud [Ab] for anyone looking [Eb] to fight
[Ab] Car cheats and rustlers [Eb] would run for their holes [Ab] when the boys from the old [Bb] broken
Road [Eb] up and rained on [Cm] the street that they named
[Ab]
Sonora's [Eb] death row
Mezcal is free [C] in a man to [Cm] saloon [Ab] for the boys from the old [Eb] broken.
Oh
Saturday nights in [Cm] the town of Sonora [Ab] best in all [Eb] Mexico
They [Ab] got guitars and trumpets sweet senior readers [Ab] who won't wanna let [Bb] you go
[Eb] You'd never believe [Cm] such a gay happy [Ab] time on the street called [Eb] Sonora's death row
They inside Amanda's [Cm] we was a [Ab] dancing with all of Amanda's [Eb] gal.
I
Want some silver and [Cm] seven card [Ab] stuff.
So I was out [Eb] doing my power
[Ab] But the whiskey and mezcal [Eb] pay so [Ab] cigars drove me outside [Bb] for some
[C] Somebody [Eb]
whispered your [Cm] life for your [Ab] money I reached but my gun [Eb] wasn't there
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb]
Woke up face down [Cm] in Amanda's back [Ab] alley aware of the fool I had [Eb] been
Rushed to my pony [Cm] grabbed my Winchester [Ab] then entered [Eb] Amanda's again
[Ab] Where I saw my [Eb] partner's twirling my pistols [Ab] and throwing my money [Bb] around
[Eb] Blinded by anger [Cm] hijacked the lever [Ab] and one of them fell to [Eb] the ground
Amanda's got silent [Cm] like not in the desert [Ab] my friends dead pure [Eb] disbelief
Amanda was kneeling [Cm] beside the dead [Ab] cowboy plainly expressing [Eb] agree
And [Ab] as I buy my head [Eb] a tremble shot through me.
My [Ab] six gun was still at [Bb] my side
[Eb] I felt my pockets.
[Cm] There was my money.
I [Ab] fell to my knees and I cried
[Eb]
Nightmare mescal [Cm] was all that it was [Ab] for no one had robbed me [Eb] at all.
I
Wish I was dreaming the [Cm] sound of the gallows.
They're [Ab] pesting just outside [Eb] the wall
[Ab] Mascots to free in [Eb] a magnet saloon for [Ab] the boys from the old broken.
[Bb] Oh
[Eb] I'd give a ransom to [Cm] drink there today and [Ab] be free of Sonora's death row
I'd give a ransom to [Cm] drink there today and [Ab] be free of [Eb] Sonora's death row
