Run For The Border chords by Johnny Rodriguez

C
A hundred dollars over the border

                           G7
A thousand miles out of my mind


Oh what was I thinking

                                        C
Thinking I could drink all that Mexican wine



And who in the world is this woman

                    F
I've never seen her before

                       C
But I've got a feeling that she's got a husband

G7                           C
Someone just kicked down the door


                   G7
Better run for the border

                      C
He's never gonna understand

              F
Better find a place to hide

       G7                    C
On the other side of the Rio Grande



Jose he's tall dark and handsome

                                G7
She said as she reached for her cloths


But he's mean as a snake

                                             C
When his woman you take right from under his nose



I said this is a great time to tell me

                             F
She said I thought he was in jail

                     C
Well I'm Jose's wife Jose's got a knife

G7                      C
And Jose is hot on your trail


                   G7
Better run for the border

                       C
Jose he is a dangerous man

              F
Better find a place to hide

       G7                    C
On the other side of the Rio Grande



So I ran through the streets of Laredo

                       G7
Naked as the day I was born


People were staring and clapping

                               C
And laughing and honking their horns



As I passed a church on the corner

                            F
I thought about stopping to pray

                           C
Then a voice from the blue said I'll watch over you

G7                            C
But we'd better stay ahead of Jose


                   G7
Better run for the border

                       C
Jose he is a dangerous man

              F
Better find a place to hide

       G7                    C
On the other side of the Rio Grande


                   G7
Better run for the border

                     C
Jose will never understand

              F
Better find a place to hide

       G7                    C
On the other side of the Rio Grande
