[Verse 1]

     Am                           
Pistolero Pistolero, where do you 
E7
ride
     E7                            
Pistolero Pistolero, you ride alone
   Am
 tonight
Am              Dm           Am 
One of brothers five one day 
             E7
vowed to try to make his way

Am                    Dm
Threw in with some bandidos
Am                     E7
Yeah, he learned their lingo
E7                            E7 
Killed the man they call him ... 
     Am
Pistolero


[Chorus]

F             G          C
Five thousand pesos they put on your
 head
F             G        C        
Five thousand pesos to get you 
            E
alive ... or dead

Ride on ride hard in vaquero,
E7
Fast as you can to her side
E7                  E7
Ah, but por mucho dinero

El noveno por nada
F         E
   Ha-ave died


[Verse 2]

     Am                           
Pistolero Pistolero, where do you 
E7
roam?
     E7                          
Pistolero Pistolero, on your way 
Am
home
Am             Dm            Am 
Every night, a candle burns, 
               E7
waiting there for your return
    E7                    | Am | % |
The candle is out ... Pistolero
Am              Dm
I see the cabin down below
Am         E7
 Pistolero let her go
E7                   E7      Am
Tonight you're mine ... Pistolero


[Chorus]

F             G          C
Five thousand pesos they put on your
 head
F             G        C        
Five thousand pesos to get you 
            E
alive ... or dead
E7                            E7
Ah Pistolero look around you, your 
sun has set in the sky
E7
Oh Pistolero I found you
       G               G         E
Kiss Maria tell Maria ... goo-oodbye

     Am                         
Pistolero Pistolero ... lay your 
      E7
