G# D# G# D# A#m D# A#m D#
I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
I was runnin' from trouble and a jail term the judge had in mind.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G#
The border meant freedom, a new life, romance, and that's why I thought I should go,
A#m G#
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico.
G# D# G# D# A#m D# A#m D#
My first night in Juarez, I lost all the money I had.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G#
But I must keep on runnin', it's too late to turn back, I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told.
A#m G#
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
Yeah, an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico.
G# D# G# D# A#m D# A#m D#
Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say,
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half loaded with hay.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G# A#m G#
Down through Durango, Palima, Palmira, then in the Manzanio,
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico.
G# D# G# D# A#m D# A#m D#
After one long siesta, I came wide awake in the night.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G# A#m G#
My new found companion, one young senorita, who offered a broken hello.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico.
G# D# G# D# A#m D# A#m D#
She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return,
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G# A#m G#
That she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo, that's all I needed to know.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 C# G# A#m G#
Yeah, she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo, that's all I needed to know.
A#m D# A#m D# G# D# Fm D#
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.
