verse 1
C
Jake ridin' south on the holiest day
C
Headin' for the Mexican border
C
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range
C
Just to help him keep law and order
C
Sits right back just a-takin' it easy
C

Drinks a shot a whiskey
            B
And it makes him mighty wheezy
C
He coughed hard once
C
He coughed hard twice
C
Neglecting keeping watch
         F     C  F     Bb
Don't mind the sheriff's advice,  oh yeah


F    C
 Ridin' shotgun
        F
Runnin' over land
         G
To the Rio Grande now

verse 2
C
Shots rang down from the rocks above
C
And bore Jake to his feet
C
His pants fell down and actin' like a clown
C
The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat
C
Big Jake did the boogaloo too
              B
Got lucky, he cried like a drunk
C                 G
His aspirations ain't no more for you
C            F
And that's the way it is

Dm         F
 Runnin' over land

To the Rio Grande now

verse 3
C
Stage got in to the center of town
C
And Jake gotta have himself a drink
C
He got to the bar and what he saw
                      G
Any self-respecting folk would hate to think
C                     Bb
Ella May was dancin' to the sound of the blues
  C
Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes
           G      C
It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near
                            F
'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer


F   Bb C
Ridin'    shotgun
Dm
  Runnin' over land
  C     F
To the Rio Grande
     F
Take the law in hand
         G
To the Rio Grande now
