[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F C
All my life I've wondered if what I done was wrong
C G7
All I ever cared to do was ride my pony on
C C7 F C
I never had no heartache was always happy and gay
C G7 C
Until I met a Texas girl who stole my heart away
[Chorus]
C F C
Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea
C G7
It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
C C7 F C
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
C G7 C
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
C C7 F C
The birds have hushed their singing sadness is over the land
C G7 C
The birds miss my darling by the sleepy Rio Grande
[Instrumental]
C G7 C
[Verse 2]
C F C
Her lips were like the Russian wine her hair it hung in curls
C G7
Her cheeks were like the dawn of day that breaks upon the world
C C7 F C
She's gone and left me lonely I miss the touch of her hand
C G7 C
Tonight while I am walking by the sleepy Rio Grande
[Chorus]
C F C
Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea
C G7
It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
C F C
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
C G7 C
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
C C7 F C
The birds have hushed their singing sadness is over the land
C G7 C
The birds miss my darling by the sleepy Rio Grande
