Jimmy Martinez chords

The s[D]tory began in Renosa
A village in [Ebdim]old Mexic[A7]o

A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were sweethearts, a long time [D]ago

They made big plans for a wedding
The town of Re[Ebdim]nosa would [A7]go

And there would see Jimmy Martinez
Married to Sarah Se[D]ro
O[A7]hh ohh ohh[D]

O[D]ne day there came a message
It said that J[Ebdim]immy must g[A7]o

As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
To fight at the Ala[D]mo

He never returned to Renosa
The story's been [Ebdim]told and reto[A7]ld

How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the Alam[D]o
Oh[A7]h- Ohh o[D]hh

Ji[D]mmy's last letter to Sarah
Began with a [Ebdim]message like [A7]this

Oh dear one, how sweet is the memory
The memory of our parting [D]kiss

I send my heart in this letter
I pray to the [Ebdim]one up abo[A7]ve

Oh Sarah, don't ever forget me
Stay just as pure as the d[D]ove
O[A7]hh ohh o[D]hh

I'm l[D]ike the dove in your window
It's chosen just [Ebdim]one mate for l[A7]ife

And you are the one I have chosen
The one that I want for my [D]wife

He never returned to Renosa
The story's been [Ebdim]told and ret[A7]old

How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the Ala[D]mo
Oh[A7]h ohh o[D]hh

S[D]arah refused to believe them
She prayed for [Ebdim]Jimmy's ret[A7]urn

And there ever night in her window
A small little candle would b[D]urn

Years turned her dark hair to silver
She prayed for [Ebdim]Jimmy so l[A7]ong

Then one night the village was saddened
The light in her window was g[D]one
O[A7]hh ohh o[D]hh
