(Repeated over and over again)

[Verse 1]
D                        G A
  Back in the innocent days,
D                                      G            A
  There was a young Cowboy who was in love with a Mexican girl,
D    G      A                D    G A
      Only she didn’t know it,
     D                                  G  A                           D                G A
And he would watch her as she walked by,   In the cotton dress which danced in the wind,
         D                   G A
And her eyes held the stars,
D                        G                    A               D    G A
  Now she was the most beautiful thing that cowboy had ever seen,
             D                  G A
Sent down straight from heaven,
     D                    G                A
But he was afraid, he'd never win her heart,
D                                G              A
  Because of some family scars left by the range wars
D         G       A
  But oh how he loved her.

[Chorus 1]
     D     G   A      D      G A
Senorita,     Passing by,
  D             G        A       D     G A
Pardon me if I stop and ask you why,
     D     G   A       D     G A
Senorita,     Could it be,
  D                     G        A       D     G A
Someone like you could love someone like me.

[Verse 2]
D                        G  A             D                       G A
  So he walked up to her,  tipped his hat, and introduced himself,
D                               G                     A
  And she looked up at him and didn’t know what to say,
D           G                A           D                                     G A
  So he told her the story of his family, the trouble that brought the barbed wire,
D                                            G A
  And of all the things that he couldn't change,
D                                       G A          D                  G A
  And then he told her that he loved her,   and he studied her reaction,
D                                    G A             D      G A
  Now by the time the spring rains came, they were married,
                    D                            G A
Now there’s an old song that my family used to sing,
          D                      G      A
About a young cowboy and a Mexican girl,
D                           G A D   G A D
  And how they fell in love.

[Chorus 2]
     D     G   A      D      G A
Senorita,     Passing by,
  D             G        A       D      G A
Pardon me if I stop and ask you why,
     D     G   A       D     G A
Senorita,     Could it be,
  D                     G        A       D      G A
Someone like you could love someone like me.

[Chorus 3]

Senorita,     Passing by,
  D             G        A       D     G A
Pardon me if I stop and ask you why,
     D     G   A       D     G A
Senorita,     Could it be,
  D                     G        A
Someone like you could love someone like,
  D                     G        A       G    G    D    A
Someone like you could love someone like me.
