The last time I was in the San Marcos was
[Am] well over 20 years ago.
And I [N] did a thing out at the school.
I was asked to judge a print show.
And while I was doing that I [C] did some stuff with [B] Bobby here and [Am] also played at Cheatham [A#m] Street.
But at the print [N] show, I remember I gave everybody in the show first prize.
And the two purchase prizes, I gave second and third prize.
So people got money, got a lesser prize.
[E] And I remember the student newspaper [N] the next day said,
Communists judges art show.
[A] That's
[Gm] my [A] main memory of San Marcos.
[B]
I remember her in the [E] trailer at [B] night.
With her hair all wet, [E] black and rolled [B] up tight.
[Em] With the ribbons around her fingers waiting for [B] her hair.
[F#] Like the visions of a dreamer curling through [B] the air.
I remember her blue [E] kimono in [B] the moonlight.
Drifting across [E] her breast in the [Bm]
moonlight.
[E] I cupped her in my hands just like [B] to a rainbow.
[F#] While she kissed me upon the mouth of [B] Colorado.
Up [E] Colorado,
[B] [F#] affectionado.
[B] Out of Texas, head down [E] to Mexico.
Up [F#] San Diego, California, Arizona.
Up, head on, two, three, four corners of [B]
Colorado.
[E] [B] [E]

[E] [B]
I remember her [E] anchor, anchored on the night of sailing.
[B]
Because the captain was drunk [E] with the gypsy bitch on the [B] railing.
[E] With a sigh she cried beneath that [B] bastard's boat.
[F#] I remember her, her butter-masted sash like a dagger through the [B] Spanish moon.
I remember her dark [E] day, dancing on a wild new [B] sea.
And the moan she groaned, [E] rolling from [B] under me.
[E] Spanish pride blazing before [B] the dawn.
Her [F#] with her back on Madrid and her belly on [B] Tenochtitlan.
Up [E] Colorado,
[F#] affectionado.
[B] Out of Texas, head down [E] to Mexico.
Up [F#] California, Arizona.
Head on, two, three, four corners of [B] Colorado.
