Verse 1 : For a ch[D]ange I headed so[G]uth acr[C]oss the bo[D]rder
For the pe[G]sos and a d[C]ifferent h[G]orse to [D]ride
I'd be b[D]ack to make the r[G]ode[C]o in W[D]aco
But that was l[G]ong before I saw them dark brown [A]eyes
Verse 2 : Oh her l[D]ong black hair and E[G]nglish b[C]ad and br[D]oken
Her b[G]ody said the w[C]ords she c[G]ouldn't f[D]ind
As I h[D]ung on every w[G]ord she l[C]eft unsp[D]oken
Oh the qu[G]estion started leaning on my m[A]ind
Refrain : Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, they b[C]oth can keep a c[G]owboy satisf[A]ied
Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, the on[C]ly way I k[G]now how to dec[A]ide
Is just get on and[(] r[D]id[)]e
Verse 3 : We d[D]anced all night ben[G]eath that sh[C]eet of c[D]otton
And you j[G]ust don't tell a g[C]irl like t[G]hat goodb[D]ye
But the c[D]owboy life ain't e[G]asil[C]iy forg[D]otten
Though lying t[G]here I couldn' help but wonder w[A]hy
Refrain : Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, they b[C]oth can keep a c[G]owboy satisf[A]ied
Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, the on[C]ly way I k[G]now how to dec[A]ide
Is just get on and[(] r[D]id[)]e
Verse 4 : Well the m[D]orning found the [G]answer d[C]awning [D]on me
As I w[G]oke up to the sh[C]arp end [G]of a kn[D]ife
Well he was scr[D]eaming at the w[G]oman h[C]anging [D]on me
Does anyb[G]ody know the Spanish word for w[A]ife?
Refrain : Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, they b[C]oth can keep a c[G]owboy satisf[A]ied
Rode[D]o__[G]o or M[D]exico, the on[C]ly way I k[G]now how to dec[A]ide
Is just get on and[(] r[D]id[)]e
Comments : Play the D/G Chord at the end of the solo like a standard
D-Chord, but put the thumb of your hand on the third fret of the thick
E-String and play a G in the bass with it.
