[Verse]
D G
It's a slow, smoky scene at the county line cantina
A D
Where strangers stop to hear her sing a song
D
She's a legend 'round these parts
G A
For stealing all the hearts of cowboys on their
D
way to San Antone
D G
She used to be a desert rose with ballerina toes
A D
But that wasn't in the cards she chose to play
D
The pages of her life are wrinkled, but her
G
Spanish eyes still twinkle
A D
Every time she steps out on the stage
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A D
flying underneath the neon moon
D G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A D
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
G D G D
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
G A
So bittersweet
N.C. D
Tequila Mockingbird
[Verse]
D
Well now once she had a man,
D G
and they called him Diamond Dan
G A
He was wild and reckless as
D
a mustang stud
D
'Til one night Tequila found him
G
with the gamblers gathered 'round him
A D
Lyin' in a pool of cheater's blood
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A D
flying underneath the neon moon
D G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A D
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
G D G D
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
G A
So bittersweet
N.C. D
Tequila Mockingbird

D
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo
D G
It wasn't God who made those Honkey Tonk angels
D
Ooh woo hoo hooh
D A G
I know he's waiting on the other side for me
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A D
flying underneath the neon moon
D G
Tequila Mockingbird,

dreaming of a love that ended too soon
G D G D
She sings the saddest song you ever heard

So bittersweet
