[B] [C] [A] [G] [Em]
South Coast, [Am] the Wild [Em] Coast is lonely [Am] You may win at the game [Em] at Bordeaux
But the [Am] lion still [Em] rules the barranca And a man [Am] there [Em] is always alone
My name [C] is Juan Hanno [G] de Castro [Em] My [A] father was a [Em] Spanish grandee
But I [Am] won my [Em] wife in a card game To hell [A] with the [Em] lords or the sea
I picked [C] up the ace, [Em] I had won her My heart which was down at my feet
Jumped up [C] to my throat [Em] in a hurry Like a [A] warm [Em] summer's day she was sweet
South Coast, [Am] the Wild [Em] Coast is lonely [Am] You may win at the game [Em] at Bordeaux
But the lion [Am] still [Em] rules the barranca And a man [A] there is always [Em] alone
[G]
Her [F] arms had to [G] tighten around me [F] As we rode up the [G] hills from the south
Not a word did [F] I [G] hear from her that day Or a kiss [C] from her pretty [G] red mouth
We came to my cabin at twilight [F] The stars [G] twinkled out on the coast
She still loved the valley, the orchard But I knew that she loved me the most
South Coast, the Wild Coast is lonely You may win at the game at Bordeaux
But the lion still rules the barranca And a man there is always alone
[Em] Then I [Am] got [Bm] hurt in a [Em] landslide With crushed [A] hip and twice [Em] broken bones
She [G] [Am] saddled our [Em] pony like lightning Rode off in [A] the [Em] night all alone
The lion [Am] screamed in [Bm] the [Em] barranca The pony fell back on the slide
My young wife [Am] lay dead in [Em] the moonlight My heart [Am] died that night [Em] with my bride
South [Am] Coast, the Wild [Em] Coast is lonely [Am] You may win at the game [Em] at Bordeaux
But the lion [Am] still [Em] rules the barranca And a man [Am] there is [Em] always alone
And a man [Am] there is [Em] always alone
