Capo III

[INTRO]
[Asus] , [A] , [Asus] , [A]

[A]We were standing on a [Bm]mountain top

[D]Where the cactus flowers [A]grow

[A]I was wishing that the [Bm]world would stop,

[D]When you said we'd better [A]go.

[A]We took a rowboat 'cross the [Bm]Rio Grande,

[D]Captain Pablo was our [A]guide.

[A]For two dollars in a [G]weathered hand

[D]He rowed us to the other [A]side.

[E]And we were dreamin' like

[F#m]The end was not in sight

[D]And we dreamed all after[A]noon.

[E]We asked the world to wait

[F#m]So we could celebrate

[D] (ring) [Asus] , [A] , [Asus] , [A]
a Gringo Honeymoon

[A]We stepped out onto the g[Bm]olden sand

[D]The sun was high and burning [A]down

[A]Rented donkeys from an old[Bm] blind man

[D]Saddled up and [A]rode to town

[A]Tied our donkeys to an [Bm]ironwood tree

[D]By the street where the children [A]play

[A]We walked in the first place [G]we could see

[D]Servin' cold beer in the [A]shade

[E]We were drinkin' like

[F#m]the end was not in sight

[D]And we drank all after[A]noon

[E]We asked the world to wait

[F#m]so we could celebrate

[D] (ring) [Asus] , [A] , [Asus] , [A]
A gringo honeymoon

[A]Met a cowboy who said that [Bm]he

[D]Was running from the D[A]EA

[A]He left a home, a wife, a [Bm]family

[D]When he made his get[A]away

[A]We followed him on down a street of [Bm]dust

[D]To his one room run-down [A]shack

[A]He blew a smoke ring and he [G]smiled at us

[D]I ain't never goin' [A]back

[E]We were flyin' like

[F#m]the end was not in sight

[D]And we soared all after[A]noon

[E]We asked the world to wait

[F#m]so we could celebrate

[D] (ring) [Asus] , [A] , [Asus] , [A]
A gringo honeymoon

[A]He said there's one last place that [Bm]you should go

[D]He took us to the town's best [A]bar

[A]He knew a crusty cabal[Bm]lero

[D]Who played an old gut string gui[A]tar

[A]And he sang like Marty R[Bm]obbins could

[D]Played like no one I've [A]known

[A]For a while we knew that [G]life was good

[D]It was ours to take back [A]home

[E]We were singin' like

[F#m]the end was not in sight

[D]And we sang all after[A]noon

[E]We asked the world to wait

[F#m]so we could celebrate

[D] (ring) [A]
