[A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
[A]My name is Del Gato born [Bm]close to the border
Of [D]white blood and red blood I [A]came
[A]I travel the saddle I [Bm]follow the cattle
[D]Down on the range where they [A]graze
And I j[E]ust ride in from a [D]hard south western d[A]rive
My [E]lips parched and bloodied
My [D]face torn by sand storms and p[A]ride
Loyality riches and i[Bm]nner bred ditches '?
Was the [D]brew that I drank as a [A]child
[A]So rebellios a lover
Don [Bm]Juan as a my cover
They [D]die cast my type called me [A]wild '?
[A]And I [E]just ride in from a [D]hard southwestern d[A]rive
The [E]hanging tree is [D]waiting for me to arri[A]ve

SOLO

[A]Structured political our [Bm]children they ridiculed
[D]They teach them of sins and to [A]lie
[A]Their schools buildt by fools but by [Bm]breaking the rules
Like A [D]fox I am forced now to [A]hide
And I [E]just ride in from a [A]hard south western [A]drive
My [E]lips parched and bloodied
My [D]face torn by sand storms and p[A]ride
[A]Pepper tree spreads taking [Bm]many mans heads ''
But the [D]one they would want most is [A]mine

To the mission I go i
In [Bm]San Juan and I kneel
And I [D]pray for the love of my [A]life
And I [E]just ride in from a [A]hard south western [A]drive
My [E]lips parched and bloodied
My [D]face torn by sand storms and p[A]ride
