Intro:
A   E     A

Verse:
A                          E                A
In a dusty little Mexican town down on the border
                    E                       A
Never expecting my heart to cross over the line
    D                                                  A
He rode into the square like he lived as wild as his stallion
         E                                   A
And his warm dark eyes burned down down into mine

A                            E                 A
Somewhere under the stars a lonely guitar was playing
                            E       A
It was the closest I'd come to paradise
         D                                      A
And the world stood still for us there in the shadows
           E                                 A
Until he whispered to me   the words of goodbye

Chorus:
D                                      A
  On Diablo he circled the mission of life
      E                               A
Then rode like a bandit stealing the night
D                                              A
  Dawn was breaking and I ached to touch him again
                              E                         A
But I knew that to have him I might as well saddle the wind

Verse:
A                               E                A
The wind blows cold through my soul back home in Austin
                          E                   A
Off in the distance somewhere a mission bell rings
D                                              A
Filling my mind with thoughts of that Mexican rider
   E                               A
Tonight I'll have him only in my dreams

Chorus:
D                                      A
  On Diablo he circled the mission of life
      E                               A
Then rode like a bandit stealing the night
D                                              A
  Dawn was breaking and I ached to touch him again
        E                                               A
But I knew that to have him I might as well saddle the wind
