A
Jaquima to freno
He's an old vaquero
From another time
Hands as fine as the
D
Dealers of Reno
He's been to the ocean
He's been to the sea
A
Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides
Of an old Visalia tree
[Chorus 1]
E A E
Hey Mr. Vaquero
D
Put a handle on my pony for me
C#m
Teach me the mystery
[Verse 2]
A
Jaquima to freno
He's an old Amansador
Still hangin' on
Just about gone
Like the California Condor
D
He been down to the rodear ground
Seen him on the movie screen
A
Ah but sometimes I think he's like America
Only see him in your dreams
[Chorus 2]
E A E
Hey Mr. Vaquero
D
Put a handle on my pony for me
C#m
Teach me the mystery
E
Did they sing all day
C#m
Did they dance all night
E
Did they ride their spade bit ponies
C#m
Through the golden light
E
Did they find true love
C#m
Was it all a bunch of lies
E A
Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise
[Verse 3]
A
Jaquima to freno
He's an old vaquero
From another time
Hands as fine as the

Dealers of Reno
He'd been to the ocean
He's been to the sea
A
Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides
Of an old Visalia tree
[Chorus 3]
E A E
Hey Mr. Vaquero
D
Put a handle on my pony for me
C#m
Teach me the mystery
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 4]
E A E
Hey Mr. Vaquero
D
Put a handle on my pony for me
C#m
Teach me the mystery

Did they sing all day

Through the golden light

Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise
