[Verse]
D Bm
Well the Mezcal is free in Amanda's saloon
G D
For the boys from the old Broken O
Bm
Saturday nights in the town of Sonora
G D
Are the best in all Mexi co
G D/F#
They've got guitars and trumpets and sweet senoritas
Em A
Who won't want to let you go
D Bm
You'd never believe such a gay happy town
G D G
Had a street named Sonora's Death Row
[Verse]
D Bm
Well inside Amanda's we were all dancin'
G D
With all of Amanda's gals
Bm
I won some silver at seven card stud
G D
So I was outdoin' my pals
G D/F#
But the whiskey and mezcal and peso cigars
Em A
Drove me outside for some air
D Bm
Where somebody whispered "Your life or your money"
G D G
I reached but my gun wasn't there
[Instrumental]
D Bm G D G
[Verse]
D Bm
I woke up face down in A manda's back alley
G D
A ware of the fool I had been
Bm
I rushed to my pony, I grabbed my Winchester
G D
And I entered Amanda's A gain
G D/F#
Where I saw my partners twirlin' my pistols
Em A
And throwin' my money A round
D Bm
Blinded by rage, I pulled the trigger
G D G
And one of them fell to the ground
[Instrumental]
D Bm G D G
[Verse]
D Bm
Well A manda's grew silent like night in the desert
G D
My friends stared in pure dis belief
Bm
Amanda was kneeling be side the dead cowboy
G D
Plainly expressing her grief
G D/F#
And as I bowed my head, a tremble shot through me
Em A
My six-gun was there at my side
D Bm
I felt in my pockets and there was my money
G D G
I fell to my knees and I cried
[Verse]
D Bm
For a nightmare of mezcal was all that it was
G D
No one had robbed me at all
Bm
I wish I was dreamin' the sound of the gallows
G D
They're testin' just outside the walls
G D/F#
And the mezcal's still free in A manda's saloon
Em A
For the boys from the old Broken O
D Bm
And I'd give a ransom to drink there today
G D G
And be free of Sonora's Death Row
Bm
Yeah I'd give a ransom to drink there today
G D G
And be free of Sonora's Death Row
