[Introduction]
D D7 G
[Verse 1]
G
North of the border of Old Mexico
G Am7 D7
I rode one day to the cow town of San Angelo
D7
A hot sun was glowing a warm wind was blowing
D7 G
Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
G
Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame
G Am7 D7
Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain
D7
Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds
G G7
She was a beauty Secora was my lover's name
C
I met her down in Laredo
C G
Everyone there in this border town called her The Rose
G
Mexican cowboys drank to Secora
G G7 C
Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose
D7 G Am7 D7
An outlaw above all the rest now my heart beats so madly
D7 G
Soon she will be at my side
[Verse 2]
G
She sent a message a long time ago
G Am7 D7
Secora had promised to meet me in San Angelo
D7
I was aware of the chance I was taking
D7 G
I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl
G
I must be with her I can't stay away
G Am7 D7
Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days
D7
If it means death then I'll have to chance it
D7 G G7
Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
C
At ten o'clock in the morning
C G
I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street
G
Where was Secora had she forgotten
G G7 C
This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet
D7 G Am7 D7
But something is wrong with our plans and I fear death awaits me
D7 G
Here on this hot dusty street
[Verse 3]
G
Up on a housetop but still I can see
G Am7 D7
There hides a man with the rifle it's pointed at me
D7
I might escape from the man with the rifle
D7 G
But there are others just like him that I cannot see
G
Back of each window the click of a gun
G Am7 D7
Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run
D7
Where is Secora will my eyes see her
D7 G G7
Then in a moment she runs from her door down the street
C
Up on your horse she is crying
C G
Ride out of town it's a trap and they're waiting for you
G
But if I ride out she must ride with me
G G7 C
Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone
D7 G Am7 D7
For a bullet is well on its way and it finds my Secora
D7 G
She dies as she falls in my arms
[Verse 4]
G
Tears dim my vision but plainly I see
G Am7 D7
The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me
D7
I walk to meet him my one thought is beat him
D7 G G7
He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die
C
I beat his draw and I shot him
C G
Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly
G
My gun is empty or more I would shoot him
G G7 C
Now there are others just like him that want me to die
D7 G Am7 D7
Their bullets are coming my way how they hurt when they hit me
D7 G
The pain makes me fall to the ground
[Verse 5]
G
Gone is my strength just the will left to fight
G Am7 D7
I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life
D7
If I must die let me find Secora
D7 G
Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left
G
Blindly I search and it isn't in vain
G Am7 D7
I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain
D7
Life is no more but we're together
D7 G
Even in death she's my lover it's over goodbye
