Gallo Del Cielo chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO]
[C] [Dm] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]
Carlos Zaragoza left his home in Casas Grandes when the [Dm]moon was full
No [G]money in his pocket, just a locket of his sister framed in [C]gold
He rode into El Sueco, stole a rooster called Gallo Del Ci[Dm]elo
Then he [G]swam the Rio Grande with that [F]fighter nestled [G]deep beneath his [C]arm

[VERSE 2]
El Gallo Del Cielo was a rooster born in heaven, so the [Dm]legends say
His [G]wings they had been broken, he had one eye rolling crazy in his [C]head
And he'd fought a hundred fights, and the legends say that one night near El [Dm]Sueco
They'd [G]fought Gallo seven times, and [F]seven times he'd [G]left brave roosters [C]dead

[CHORUS]
[F]Hola, my Theresa, I am thinking of you now in San An[G]tonio
I have [Dm]27 [G]dollars and the [Dm]good luck of your picture framed in [G]gold
[F]Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Ci[G]elo
And then [Dm]I'll return to [G]buy the land [F]Villa stole from [G]father long a[C]go

[VERSE 3]
Outside of San Diego, in the onion fields of Paco Monte[Dm]verde
The [G]Pride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of [C]silk
And they laughed when Zaragoza pulled the one-eyed del Cielo from be[Dm]neath his coat
But they [G]cried when Zaragoza walked a[F]way with a [G]thousand dollar [C]bill

[CHORUS]
[F]Hola, my Theresa, I am thinking of you now in Santa [G]Barbara
I have [Dm]fifteen hundred [G]dollars and the [Dm]good luck of your picture framed in [G]gold
[F]Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Ci[G]elo
And then [Dm]I'll return to [G]buy the land [F]Villa stole from [G]father long a[C]go

[VERSE 4]
Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern light spills shadows on a [Dm]fighting sand
Where a [G]wicked black named Zorro faces Gallo del Cielo in the [C]night
But Carlos Zaragoza fears the tiny crack that runs across his [Dm]rooster's beak
And he [G]fears he has lost the fifty [F]thousand dollars [G]riding on the [C]fight

[CHORUS]
[F]Hola, my Theresa, I am thinking of you now in Santa [G]Clara
Yes, the [Dm]money's on the [G]table, I am [Dm]holding to your good luck framed in [G]gold
And [F]everything we've dreamed of is riding on the spurs of Del Ci[G]elo
I pray that [Dm]I'll return to [G]buy the land [F]Villa stole from [G]father long a[C]go

[VERSE 5]
Then the signal it was given, and the cocks rose together far [Dm]above the sand
El [G]Gallo del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny [C]breast
They were separated quickly but they rose and fought each other thirty-[Dm]seven times
And the [G]legends say that everyone [F]agreed that del Ci[G]elo fought the [C]best

[VERSE 6]
Then the screams of Zaragoza filled the night outside the town of Santa [Dm]Clara
As the [G]beak of del Cielo lay broken like a shell within his [C]hand
And they say that Zaragoza screamed a curse upon the bones of Pancho [Dm]Villa
When [G]Zorro rose up one last time and [F]drove del Ci[G]elo through the [C]sand

[CHORUS]
[F]Hola, my Theresa, I am thinking of you now in San Fran[G]cisco
I have no [Dm]money in my [G]pocket, I no [Dm]longer have your good luck framed in [G]gold
I [F]buried it last evening with the bones of my beloved Del Ci[G]elo
And I'll [Dm]not return to [G]buy the land [F]Villa stole from [G]father long a[C]go

[VERSE 7]
Do the [F]rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved Casas [G]Grandes?
Does the [Dm]scar upon my [G]brother's face turn [Dm]red when he hears mention of my [G]name?
Do the [F]people of El Sueco curse the theft of Gallo del Ci[G]elo?
Well, [Dm]tell my family [G]not to worry, [F]I will not [G]return to cause them [C]shame
