Chord/Tab song: Run for the Border

A hundred dollar[C]s over the border

A thousand miles out of my [G7]mind

Oh what was I thinking

Thinking I could drink all that Mexican [C]wine


And who in the world is this woman

I've never seen her [F]before

But I've got a feeling [C]that she's got a husband

[G7]Someone just kicked down the [C]door

Better run for the [G7]border

He's never gonna under[C]stand

Better find a [F]place to hide

On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande


Jose he's tall dark and handsome

She said as she reached for her [G7]cloths

But he's mean as a snake

When his woman you take right from under his [C]nose


I said this is a great time to tell me

She said I thought he was in [F]jail

Well I'm Jose's wife [C]Jose's got a knife

[G7]And Jose is hot on your [C]trail

Better run for the [G7]border

Jose he is a dangerous [C]man

Better find a [F]place to hide

On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande


So I ran through the streets of Laredo

Naked as the day I was [G7]born

People were staring and clapping

And laughing and honking their [C]horns


As I passed a church on the corner

I thought about stopping to [F]pray

Then a voice from the blue [C]said I'll watch over you

[G7]But we'd better stay ahead of [C]Jose

Better run for the [G7]border

Jose he is a dangerous [C]man

Better find a [F]place to hide

On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande

Better run for the [G7]border

Jose will never under[C]stand

Better find a [F]place to hide

On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande
