Romance In Durango v1

(D)Hot chili peppers in the blistering (A)sun
Dust on my face and my (G)cape(D)
Me and Magdalena on the(A)run
I (G)think this time we shall es(A)cape(D)

Sold my guitar to the baker's (A)son
For a few crumbs and a place to (G)hide(D)
But I can get another (A)one
And I'll (G)play for Magdalena as we (A)ride(D)

Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of (A)our people
Hoofbeats like castanets on (G)stone.(D)
At night I dream of bells in the village (A)steeple
Then I (G)see the bloody face of Ra(A)mon(D)

Was it me that shot him down in the (A)cantina
Was it my hand that held the (G)gun?(D)
Come, let us fly, my Magda(A)lena
The (G)dogs are barking and what's done is (A)done(D)

(A)No llores, mi querida Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to (G)Duran(D)go.
(A)Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone
(G)Soon you will be dancing the (A)fandan(D)go.(D)

At the corrida we'll sit in the (A)shade
And watch the young torero stand (G)alone.
We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers (A)stayed
When (G)they rode with Villa into Tor(A)re(D)on.

Then the padre will recite the prayers of (A)old
In the little church this side of (G)town.(D)
I will wear new boots and an earring of (A)gold
You'll (G)shine with diamonds in your wedding (A)gown(D)

The way is long but the end is (A)near
Already the fiesta has (G)be(D)gun
The face of God will (A)appear
With His (G)serpent eyes of ob(A)si(D)dian.

(A)No llores, mi querida Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to (G)Duran(D)go.(D)
(A)Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone
(G)Soon you will be dancing the (A)fandan(D)go.(D)

Was that the thunder that I (A)heard?
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp (G)pain.(D)
Come sit by me, don't say a (A)word
Oh,can it (G) be that I am (A)slain?(D)

Quick, Magdalena, take my (A)gun
Look up in the hills, that flash of (G)light(D)
Aim well my little (A)one
We may (G)not make it through the (A)night(D)

(A)No llores, mi querida Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to (G)Duran(D)go.(D)
(A)Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone
(G)Soon you will be dancing the (A)fandan(D)go.(D)
