[Verse 1]
          E                        
When the gallows whispered my name 
                    A
I fled south of the border
B                       B7       
There I sought refuge amongst an 
     B       E
old Mexican town
E                                 
Leaving behind all my troubles and
                A
 wrongs from my past life
B        B7                      
I met an angel to help this wild 
      B           E
horse settle down


     A                           
The shade of her hair is black as 
                   E
the night time around me
    B             B7              
One look from her eyes could make 
       B           E
the tequila taste sweeter

On a hot summer night we were 
                       E
married in a Mexican valley
     B7                            
This refugee outlaw and a beautiful
         E
 Mexican bride


C#m                          
Walk through the valley, where 
         E
angels fly

[Verse 2]
       E                       
On the night of the marriage we 
                      A
headed to an old hacienda
   B          B7                  
My love in my arms and the music 
     B        E
of a mariachi band
     E                          
When all of a sudden my troubles 
                          A
from my past life, they found me
        B         B7              
In the form of a sheriff who swore
       B             E
 that he'd track me down


           A                       
When the shouts turn to shots I 
                            E
lost track of the girl I just 
married
        B7                         
In the haze of tequila I could not 
                   E
tell where I was shooting
          A                        
When the gun smoke had cleared, my 
                           E
true love lay dead on the bar floor
     B            B7              
And though I was breathing, my 
                         E
heart was telling me I was gone


C#m                          
Wade through the valley, where 
          E
angels cry             (x4)
