[Introduction]
[D] [D7] [G]

[VERSE 1]
[G]North of the border of Old Mexico
[G]I rode one day to the cow town of [Am7]San Ange[D7]lo
A [D7]hot sun was glowing a warm wind was blowing
[D7]Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to [G]kiss
[G]Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame
[G]Lips that were fresher than flowers when [Am7]kissed by the [D7]rain
[D7]Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds
She was a beauty Secora was my lover's [G]name [G7]
[C]I met her down in Laredo
[C]Everyone there in this border town called her The [G]Rose
[G]Mexican cowboys drank to Secora
[G]Everyone loved her but I was the [G7]one that she [C]chose
An [D7]outlaw above all the [G]rest now my heart [Am7]beats so [D7]madly
[D7]Soon she will be at my [G]side

[VERSE 2]
[G]She sent a message a long time ago
Se[G]cora had promised to meet me in [Am7]San Ange[D7]lo
[D7]I was aware of the chance I was taking
[D7]I was an outlaw but great was my love for this [G]girl
[G]I must be with her I can't stay away
[G]Nights spent without her are lonely and so [Am7]are the [D7]days
[D7]If it means death then I'll have to chance it
[D7]Only a few moments more and she'll be in my [G]arms [G7]
[C]At ten o'clock in the morning
[C]I tied my horse and I started to walk down the [G]street
[G]Where was Secora had she forgotten
[G]This was the day and the hour that she [G7]wanted to [C]meet
But [D7]something is wrong with our [G]plans and I fear [Am7]death a[D7]waits me
[D7]Here on this hot dusty [G]street

[VERSE 3]
[G]Up on a housetop but still I can see
[G]There hides a man with the rifle it's [Am7]pointed at [D7]me
[D7]I might escape from the man with the rifle
[D7]But there are others just like him that I cannot [G]see
[G]Back of each window the click of a gun
[G]Die if I stay and my love for her won't [Am7]let me [D7]run
[D7]Where is Secora will my eyes see her
[D7]Then in a moment she runs from her door down the st[G]reet[G7]
[C]Up on your horse she is crying
[C]Ride out of town it's a trap and they're waiting for [G]you
[G]But if I ride out she must ride with me
[G]Then in a moment I know that our [G7]chances are [C]gone
For a [D7]bullet is well on its [G]way and it [Am7]finds my Se[D7]cora
She [D7]dies as she falls in my [G]arms

[VERSE 4]
[G]Tears dim my vision but plainly I see
The [G]ranger that killed her is standing there [Am7]waiting for[D7] me
[D7]I walk to meet him my one thought is beat him
[D7]He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will [G]die [G7]
[C]I beat his draw and I shot him
[C]Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would [G]fly
[G]My gun is empty or more I would shoot him
[G]Now there are others just like him that [G7]want me to [C]die
Their [D7]bullets are coming my [G]way how they [Am7]hurt when they [D7]hit me
The [D7]pain makes me fall to the [G]ground

[VERSE 5]
[G]Gone is my strength just the will left to fight
[G]I hear the sound of the lead as it [Am7]robs me of [D7]life
[D7]If I must die let me find Secora
[D7]Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments [G]left
[G]Blindly I search and it isn't in vain
[G]I touch the soft velvet hand and it [Am7]eases the [D7]pain
[D7]Life is no more but we're together
[D7]Even in death she's my lover it's over good[G]bye
