Verse 1:
C majorC              FF        C majorC
All my life I've wondered if what I done was wrong
C majorC             G7G7
All I ever cared to do was ride my pony on
 C majorC           C7C7  FF        C majorC
I never had no heartache was always happy and gay
C majorC              G7G7       C majorC
Until I met a Texas girl who stole my heart away

Chorus:
C majorC                FF       C majorC
Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea
    C majorC                  G7G7
It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
    C majorC            C7C7   FF       C majorC
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
  C majorC                G7G7      C majorC
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
  C majorC               C7C7 FF          C majorC
The birds have hushed their singing  sadness is over the land
  C majorC              G7G7     C majorC
The birds miss my darling by the sleepy Rio Grande

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
  C majorC                  FF        C majorC
Her lips were like the Russian wine her hair it hung in curls
  C majorC                   G7G7
Her cheeks were like the dawn of day that breaks upon the world
   C majorC           C7C7    FF        C majorC
She's gone and left me lonely I miss the touch of her hand
  C majorC                G7G7    C majorC
Tonight while I am walking by the sleepy Rio Grande

Chorus:
C majorC                FF       C majorC
Where the sleepy Rio Grande goes slowly to the sea

It was there she promised to be mine throughout eternity
    C majorC                FF       C majorC
But the angels they grew jealous of her beauty and her smile
  C majorC                G7G7      C majorC
And came along one stormy night and stole away my bride
  C majorC               C7C7 FF          C majorC
The birds have hushed their singing  sadness is over the land
