Gringo Honeymoon

Intro
Asus, A, Asus, A

A                     Bm
We were standing on a mountain top

D                        A
Where the cactus flowers grow

A                      Bm
I was wishing that the world would stop,

D                         A
When you said we'd better go.

A                            Bm
We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande,

D                     A
Captain Pablo was our guide.

A                    G
For two dollars in a weathered hand

D                        A
He rowed us to the other side.

E
And we were dreamin' like

F#m
The end was not in sight

D                       A
And we dreamed all afternoon.

E
We asked the world to wait

F#m
So we could celebrate

D (ring)      Asus, A, Asus, A
a Gringo Honeymoon

A                        Bm
We stepped out onto the golden sand

D                            A
The sun was high and burning down

A                         Bm
Rented donkeys from an old blind man

D              A
Saddled up and rode to town

A                      Bm
Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree

D                                A
By the street where the children play

A                            G
We walked in the first place we could see

D                        A
Servin' cold beer in the shade

E
We were drinkin' like

F#m
the end was not in sight

D                     A
And we drank all afternoon

E
We asked the world to wait

F#m
so we could celebrate

D (ring)      Asus, A, Asus, A
A gringo honeymoon

A                          Bm
Met a cowboy who said that he

D                     A
Was running from the DEA

A                         Bm
He left a home, a wife, a family

D                   A
When he made his getaway

A                                   Bm
We followed him on down a street of dust

D                        A
To his one room run-down shack

A                           G
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us

D                   A
I ain't never goin' back

E
We were flyin' like

F#m
the end was not in sight

D                      A
And we soared all afternoon

E
We asked the world to wait

F#m
so we could celebrate

D (ring)      Asus, A, Asus, A
A gringo honeymoon

A                                   Bm
He said there's one last place that you should go

D                             A
He took us to the town's best bar

A                     Bm
He knew a crusty caballero

D                               A
Who played an old gut string guitar

A                       Bm
And he sang like Marty Robbins could

D                       A
Played like no one I've known

A                        G
For a while we knew that life was good

D                        A
It was ours to take back home

E
We were singin' like

F#m
the end was not in sight

D                    A
And we sang all afternoon

E
We asked the world to wait

F#m

A gringo honeymoon

A (spoken)            Bm
We were standin' on a mountain top

D                        A
Where the cactus flowers grow

A                      Bm
I was wishin' that the world would stop

D           D
When you said...
