_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
I left out [Gm] of Tucson [Cm] with no _ [Eb] destination [Fm] in mind
[Bb] _
I [Fm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] was running from [Bb] trouble and [Ab] the jail term [Bb] the judge had [Eb] in mind
[Gm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
And the [Bbm] border [Eb] meant freedom, [Bbm] a new life, [Eb] _
romance
[Bbm] That's why [Eb] I thought I [Ab] should go
_ [Cm] _
And [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Fm] start my [Bb] life over [Fm] on the seashore [Bb] of old [Eb] Mexico
_ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
My first night [Gm] in Juarez [Cm] I lost [Eb] all the money [Fm] I had
[Bb] _ _
One _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] bad _ [Bb] senorita [Fm] made use of [Bb] one innocent [Eb] _ lad
[Gm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
But [Db] I must keep [Eb] on running, [Db] it's too [Eb] late to turn back
[Bbm] I'm wanted [Eb] in Tucson [Ab] on a boat
[Cm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
And things will [Bb] blow over [Fm] on the seashore [Bb] of old [Eb] Mexico
_ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
Dear Mexican [Gm] farmers [Ab] en [Eb] route to a town I [Fm] can't say
[Bb] _
Let [Fm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Fm] me ride on [Bb] the back of [Fm] a flatbed [Bb] half loaded [Eb] with hay
_ [Gm] _ _
[Cm] Down _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ through [Eb] Durango, _ [Bbm] Colima, _ [Eb] Jamiro
Then _ into _ [Ab] Manzanillo
_ _ [Cm] _
Where [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
I slept in [Bb] the sunshine [Fm] on the seashore [Bb] of old [Eb] Mexico _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] After one [Abm] long siesta [E] I came wide awake in [Gbm] the night
[B] _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ [B] _
I [Gbm] was startled by [B] _
someone [Gbm] who shadowed [B] the pale _ [E] moonlight
_ [Abm] _
My [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] new found [E] companion, [Bm] one young _ [E] senorita [Bm] who offered a [E]
[Ab] broken [A] pillow
_ [Dbm] _
To [Gbm] _ _ _ _ _
the green ghost [B] she found on [Gbm] the seashore [B] of old [E] Mexico _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _
She [F] spoke [Am] of Sonora [F] and swore that she'd never _ [Gm] _ return _ _
For _ _ _ _ a Mexican [E] husband she [Gm] really had [E] no great [F] concern
[Am] _ _ _
[Dm] But _ _ _ _
[Cm] she [F] loved the green ghost, [Eb] my red [Dm] haired [F] lingo
_ [Cm] That's [F] all I needed to [Bb] know
[Dm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _
I found what I needed on the seashore [C] of old [F] Mexico
_ _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] Yes _ _ [F] _ _
[Cm] she loved the [F] green ghost, [Eb] my red haired [F] lingo _
[Cm] That's all [F] I needed to [Bb] know
[Dm] _ I [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
found what I [C] needed on the [Gm] seashore [C] of old [F] Mexico
