Border Blues Chords & Lyrics - Bill Staines

[INTRO]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D] x4

[VERSE]
Well, it was S[D]aturday night and I was fe[A]eling all ri[D]ght, Drinking
t[G]equila amaretto on d[D]own.
[G]Me and Miguel on a f[D]ast train to Hell from a s[Em7]outhwestern border t[A]own.
Well, I f[D]ell in love with a M[A]exican d[D]ove as the b[G]and played a melod[D]y,
[D]And with a s[G]mile on her face she took me b[D]ack to this place and "T[A]hat’s
all she wrote for m[D]e.”

[CHORUS]
Singing, [G]Oh, Ma[D]ria what’d you [A]do to [D]me with your l[G]ong obsidion h[D]air?
You had a h[G]and on my heart and o[D]ne in my pocket now I k[Em7]now you never
really c[A]ared.
And El Di[G]ablo’s always l[D]ooking for a[A]nother blind f[D]ool and he’s [G]alw[D]ays
c[Em7]lose at ha[A]nd.
He drives a [G]taxi in the day and [D]night he plays trumpet in a [A]mariachi
[D]band.
He drives a t[G]axi in the day and n[D]ight he plays trumpet in a m[A]ariachi
[D]band.

[INTERLUDE]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D] x2

[VERSE]
There was a [D]warm southern breeze in the a[A]ir that n[D]ight, there were
d[G]ancers looking light and g[D]ay,
There was m[G]usic in the bars, and e[D]ight hundred cars, driving [Em7]up and down
along the w[A]ay.
There were p[D]retty city lights shining d[A]own on the s[D]ights and a [G]bridge
across the Rio G[D]rande
[D]There was [G]me on the street with my [D]heart at my feet and my [A]pockets full
of desert s[D]and.

[CHORUS]
Singing, [G]Oh, Ma[D]ria what’d you [A]do to [D]me with your [G]long obsidion h[D]air?
You had a h[G]and on my heart and o[D]ne in my pocket now I [Em7]know you never
really c[A]ared.
And El Di[G]ablo’s always l[D]ooking for a[A]nother blind f[D]ool and he’s [G]alw[D]ays
[Em7]close at h[A]and.
He drives a t[G]axi in the day and n[D]ight he plays trumpet in a m[A]ariachi
[D]band.
He drives a t[G]axi in the day and n[D]ight he plays trumpet in a m[A]ariachi
[D]band.
