Intro:
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse 1:
                         A augmentedA
With my back to Laredo, facing the bridge I must cross
                              G+G             D MajorD
And no way of knowing if the river was flowing between the longing and the innocence lost
                           G minorGm      F# minorF#m   E minorEm
Drawn by the memory of the way that she held me that night up in ‘ol San Antone
  D MajorD             A7A7        D MajorD
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

Verse 2:
                          A augmentedA
The Sky was on fire from the South Texas sun going down
                        G+G             D MajorD
Not much to go on, she said that she lived on a street in the old part of town
                          G+G      F# minorF#m   E minorEm
As the shimmering lights of Nuevo Laredo fell like stars in the water below
  D MajorD         A augmentedA         D MajorD
I set out to find the brown eyes of Mexico

Chorus:
    G+G      D MajorD
Mi Corazon, my only one
  B minorBm          F# minorF#m           G+G             A augmentedA
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
        G+G  A augmentedA          D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
     D MajorD          A augmentedA         D MajorD
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

Verse 3:
                          A7A7
Four days of searching cantinas and countless dead ends
                         G+G           D MajorD
They knew Adrianna and said she was gone; like a wisp of perfume on the wind
                       G+G      F# minorF#m     E minorEm
But then in a bar called La Rosa De Muerte, a girl of the night said hello
D MajorD              A augmentedA         D MajorD
I turned and there were the brown eyes of Mexico

Chorus:
    G+G      D MajorD
Mi Corazon, my only one
  B minorBm          F# minorF#m           G+G             A augmentedA
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
        G+G  A augmentedA          D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G+G
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
     D MajorD          A augmentedA         D MajorD
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

Verse 4:
  E MajorE                         BB
We stood there in silence searching for something to say
                         A augmentedA           E MajorE
But I knew in my heart, nothing else mattered. I told her I’d take her away.
                               A augmentedA        G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m
And the love in her eyes, like the first time I saw her; she said there’s no way I can go
  E MajorE          BB         E MajorE
And tears fell from the brown eyes of Mexico

Final Chorus:
    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Mi Corazon, my only one
  C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m           A augmentedA             BB
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
        A augmentedA   BB         E MajorE G# minorG#m C# minorC#m A augmentedA
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
   E MajorE          BB         E MajorE
As I walked away from the brown eyes of Mexico
A augmentedA   E MajorE          B7B7        E MajorE
Ohhhhh I still dream of the brown eyes of Mexico
