Romance In Durango

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

[Verse 2]
D                             A
Sold my guitar to the baker's son
                              G
For a few crumbs and a place to 
   D
hide,
                       A
But I can get another one
And I'll play for Magdalena as we 
G  D
ride.

[Chorus]
    A
    No llores, mi querida

    Dios nos vigila
    Soon the horse will take us to 
  G  D
Durango.
      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

    Soon the desert will be gone
    Soon you will be dancing the 
   G  D
fandango.

[Verse 3]
D                                 
Past the Aztec ruins and the 
        A
ghosts of our people
                            G    D
Hoofbeats like castanets on stone
At night I dream of bells in the 
        A
village steeple
                              G    D
Then I see the bloody face of Ramon

[Verse 4]
D                                 
Was it me that shot him down in 
      A
the cantina
                             G  D
Was it my hand that held the gun

Come, let us fly, my Magdalena
The dogs are barking and what's done
    G   D
 is done

[Chorus]
       A
    No llores, mi querida

    Dios nos vigila
    Soon the horse will take us to 
  G  D
Durango.
      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

    Soon the desert will be gone
    Soon you will be dancing the 
   G  D
fandango.

[Verse 5]
D                             
At the corrida we'll sit in the 
     A
shade
And watch the young torero stand 
 G   D
alone
We'll drink tequila where our 
             A
grandfathers stayed
When they rode with Villa into 
   G   D
Torreon

[Verse 6]
D                            
Then the padre will recite the 
              A
prayers of old
In the little church this side of 
 G  D
town
I will wear new boots and an earring
      A
 of gold
You'll shine with diamonds in your 
        G   D
wedding gown

[Verse 7]
D                                A
The way is long but the end is near
                        G   D
Already the fiesta has begun
                        A
The face of God will appear
                          G    D
With His serpent eyes of obsidian

[Chorus]
     A
    No llores, mi querida

    Dios nos vigila
    Soon the horse will take us to 
  G  D
Durango.
      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

    Soon the desert will be gone
    Soon you will be dancing the 
   G  D
fandango.

[Verse 8]
D                             A
Was that the thunder that I heard
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp
 G  D
 pain
                              A
Come sit by me, don't say a word
                         G   D
Oh, can it be that I am slain

[Verse 9]
D                           A
Quick, Magdalena, take my gun
Look up in the hills, that flash of 
 G  D
light
                    A
Aim well my little one
                               G   D
We may not make it through the night

[Chorus]
     A
    No llores, mi querida

    Dios nos vigila
    Soon the horse will take us to 
  G  D
Durango.
      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

    Soon the desert will be gone
    Soon you will be dancing the 
   G  D
fandango.
