there were two eyes staring in a 
pawn shop window
and a whiskey bottle was lifted up 
to his mouth

CHORUS
C                 D              
there was no moon shining on the Rio
G
 Grande
C             D            
as a truck of migrants pulled

ground

VERSE 3:
He blacked out all the windows in 
his bedroom
he was talking to the ceiling and 
the walls
he closed his eyes and hit the stage
 in 1955
as the screams of the children 
filled the hall

(repeat CHORUS)

This cop walked into a pancake house
 in Texas
and ordered up a couple of cups to 
go
and he tells the waitress, "Hey, I 
just found the body
of some guy who was famous long ago"

(final CHORUS uses |G```|D`C`| 
pattern played 4 times - same as 
intro)
