Clear Isabel

Bm

[Verse 1]
Isabel and her brown skin shined like a sapphire in the summer sun
@Bm$                                                            @G$

  G

The pride and 
@D$                                       @A$
joy of a Mexican lawman who lived by
  A
 the gun
        @Bm$                                                    @G$
He got cross ways with the cartel 
  G
they shot down his only son Jose
So in 
@D$                                                        @A$
fear of his daughter's life he 
  A
packed their bags and late one night
 she heard him say

[Chorus]
I 
G                                                    Bm
hear the grass is greener just 
beyond that Laredo border line
They say 
@A$                                                    @Bm$       @Bm$ @A$
freedom is much sweeter than sweet 
  Bm A
blood red sangria wine
South 
@G$                                                           @Bm$
Texas looks like heaven when you're 
 Bm
down here in this living hell
So come 
@A$                                            @G$
on let's cross that Rio, the coast 
  G
is clear Isabel
                    Bm        Bm A
The coast is clear Isabel

[Verse 2]
They 
@Bm$                                                          @G$
came across our homestead tired and 
  G
hungry, cold and moving slow

We had 
@D$                                                         @A$
fence to build a warm place to stay 
  A
and they had nowhere to go
So I worked 
@Bm$                                                                   @G$
cattle with her father we were 
  G
stretching wire and driving post all
 day
              D                                                    A
While Isabel worked with my mother 
and late at night I held her tight 
and she'd take my breath away

[Chorus]
     G                          
I hear the grass is greener just 
                          Bm
beyond that Laredo border line
         A                      
They say freedom is much sweeter 
                              Bm   
than sweet blood red sangria wine
    Bm A

       G                           
South Texas looks like heaven when 
                                Bm
you're down here in this living hell
        A                          
So come on let's cross that Rio, 
                  G
the coast is clear Isabel
                    Bm        Bm A
The coast is clear Isabel

[Verse 3]
The sheriff 
@Bm$                                                            @G$
came across her father they treated 
  G
him like an outlaw on the run
And Isabel now 
@D$                                                   @A$
wears my diamond and that little boy
  A
 she holds is my son
We got a green 
@Bm$                                                   @G$
card for her father Mariano but it 
  G
came two years too late
             D   
We got word that 
                                                    @A$
he'd been gunned down in a border 
A
town shot in the back
The last thing they heard him say

[Otro]
I 
@G$                                                      @Bm$
hear the grass is greener just 
 Bm
beyond that Laredo border line
And they 
@A$                                                            @Bm$     @Bm$ @A$
say that freedom is much sweeter 
  Bm A
than sweet blood red sangria wine
South 
@G$                                                           @Bm$
Texas looks like heaven when you're 
 Bm
down here in this living hell
So come 
 @A$                                            @G$
on let's cross that Rio, the coast 
  G
is clear Isabel
                    G
The coast is clear Isabel
                    G
The coast is clear Isabel

Clear Isabel
