Verse 1:
                   D MajorD
Well, he walked and he walked down on Main street
 A augmentedA              E MajorE
A augmentedA hot wind blowing up from the south
A augmentedA                D MajorD
Two eye's staring in a pawnshop window
 A augmentedA       E MajorE       A augmentedA
A majorA whiskey bottle lifted to his mouth

And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
      E MajorE          A augmentedA   D MajorD
The cool mujados pulled through town
        E MajorE       A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
   D MajorD    E MajorE       A augmentedA
When Haley's comet hit the ground

Verse:
                   D MajorD
He blacked out all the windows in his bedroom
    A augmentedA               E MajorE
He was talking to the ceiling and the walls
  A augmentedA                   D MajorD
He closed his eyes and hit the stage in '55
    A augmentedA       E MajorE        A augmentedA
And the screams of the women filled the hall

       D MajorD    E MajorE       A augmentedA      D MajorD
And there was no moon shining on the Rio Grande
      E MajorE          A augmentedA   D MajorD
The cool mujados pulled through town
        E MajorE       A augmentedA   F# minorF#m

When Haley's comet hit the ground
A augmentedA
Hit the ground

Verse:
                 D MajorD
A augmentedA cop walks in a Pancake House in Texas
  A augmentedA             E MajorE
He ordered up two coffees to go
  A augmentedA                   D MajorD
He told the waitress, "We just found the body
    A augmentedA     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Of the man who invented Rock 'n' Roll"

The cool mujados rode into town
        E MajorE       A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
The jukebox was busted at the bus depot
   D MajorD    E MajorE       A augmentedA
When Haley's comet hit the ground
A augmentedA
Hit the ground
A augmentedA
Hit the ground
