Chords with lyrics
C majorC
A augmentedA hundred dollars over the border
G7G7
A augmentedA thousand miles out of my mind
Oh what was I thinking
C majorC
Thinking I could drink all that Mexican wine
And who in the world is this woman
FF
I've never seen her before
C majorC
But I've got a feeling that she's got a husband
G7G7 C majorC
Someone just kicked down the door
G7G7
Better run for the border
C majorC
He's never gonna understand
FF
Better find a place to hide
G7G7 C majorC
On the other side of the Rio Grande
Jose he's tall dark and handsome
G7G7
She said as she reached for her cloths
But he's mean as a snake
C majorC
When his woman you take right from under his nose
I said this is a great time to tell me
FF
She said I thought he was in jail
C majorC
Well I'm Jose's wife Jose's got a knife
G7G7 C majorC
And Jose is hot on your trail
G7G7
Better run for the border
C majorC
Jose he is a dangerous man
FF
Better find a place to hide
G7G7 C majorC
On the other side of the Rio Grande
So I ran through the streets of Laredo
G7G7
Naked as the day I was born
People were staring and clapping
C majorC
And laughing and honking their horns
As I passed a church on the corner
FF
I thought about stopping to pray
C majorC
Then a voice from the blue said I'll watch over you
G7G7 C majorC
But we'd better stay ahead of Jose
G7G7
Better run for the border
C majorC
Jose he is a dangerous man
FF
Better find a place to hide
G7G7 C majorC
On the other side of the Rio Grande
G7G7
Better run for the border
C majorC
Jose will never understand
FF
Better find a place to hide
G7G7 C majorC
On the other side of the Rio Grande
