[VERSE 1:]
Never had much to say, he traveled 
Am                      F
alone with no friends
                                Am 
Like a shadowy ghost at dawn he 
                F
came and he went
                     G             
Through the woodland swiftly 
   Em
gliding
                  Am             Dm
To the young maid he came riding
Where she'd run to meet him by the 
 G         C G
garden wall


[VERSE 2:]
                 Am                
"Oh, my sweet Miguel, I will never 
C
tell
                  Am               
"No one will ever know, what I know
     C
 too well"
                   F               
And he'd smile and lay his head on 
    C
her breast
         F               C
And he'd say, "I have no fear"
         F                         
"They're waiting for me to cross 
             G
the border, to swim the river


[VERSE 3:]
        C                F
"'Cause I've done that before
    G                  Am
"To see my true love's smiling face
   D                G
"A hundred times or more"
 F      C                 F
"Oh, my sweet Miguel" she cried
      G               C
"I'll love you till I die"

[VERSE 4:]
                                 Am
He was born to the south, in 
             F
Mexico, they say
                           Am      
The child of a man who had soon 
         F
gone away
               G                 Em
But his mother loved him dearly
              Am               Dm
And she would take him yearly
To the great Cathedral in St. 
G        C G
Augustine


[VERSE 5:]
                 Am                
"Oh, my young Miguel, listen to the
 C
 bell
            Am                 C
"Of my poverty, you must never tell"
                F                  
And he cried himself to sleep in 
  C
the night
       F                    C
And he vowed to make things right
      F                         
So he took the gun down from the 
             G
wall and he paid a call


[VERSE 6:]
   C               F
He knew she'd understand
  G              Am
A lawman came to capture him
    D                 G
The gun jumped in his hand
 F      C                F
"Oh, Miguel", the mother cried
          G                   C
"You must run, son, or you'll die"


[INTERLUDE:] F   Am   F   Am   F


[VERSE 7:]
So the story is told of his true 
Am                    F
love across the line
                            Am     
As strong as the oak and as sweet 
            F
as the vine
        G                   Em
And the child she bore him
            Am               Dm
Came on the fateful morning
                          G       
When they sent him to his final 
C  G
rest


[VERSE 8:]
                Am                 
Oh, my sweet Miguel, listen to the 
C
bell
                 Am             
No one will ever know, of what I 
          C
know too well
                     F             
Then she'd smile and lay the child 
       C
on her breast
          F               C
And she'd say, "I have no fear
     F                           
"I'm waiting for you to cross the 
            G
border, to swim the river"


[VERSE 9:]
       C                  F
'Cause you've done that before
   G                    Am
To see your true love's smiling face
  D                G
A hundred times or more
 F      C                  F
"Oh, my sweet Miguel", she cried
      G               C     G   
"I'll love you till I die"
