A Em
Oh how the wind did blow
G D
Across the dusty plain
Am Em
All those who came before
G D
Were sworn now to remain
A E
She said she loved me
G D
I didn't even know her name
[Chorus 1]
Am E Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
G D
They left their bones in Mexico, yea
A Em
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh
G D
Their voices warned me not to go to Mexico
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A E
I heard the mission bells
G D
Exposed the life betrayed
A E
The sin you need to hide's
G D
In the shadows of the grave
A Em
I feel the devil here
G D
But it's too late to run away
[Chorus 2]
Am E
Whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa
G D
Take me home sweet Mexico
A Em
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
G D
Their voices warned me not to go
[Verse 3]
A E
I walked the winding trail
G D
That led me to the grave
A Em
The voices called to me and said
G D
Gringo go away
A E
The Virgin Mary cries
G D
As the sacrifice is made for
[Chorus 3]
Am Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
G D
I left my bones in Mexico, yea
A Em
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
G
The voices warned me
D
They warned me not to go
[Outro]
