Verse:
I lost my mind ten years ago
 B minorBm
A augmentedA wanderin? through the world
   C majorC
Let?s cut right to the quick
   D MajorD
I met me a dark-eyed girl
   G+G            B minorBm
I was living in El Paso with a woman named Inez
   A minorAm
We?d stare out every evening
    C majorC        D MajorD
At the hills of old Jau rez

G+G                 B minorBm
Inez she?d had a grand daddy who?d owned the dry good store
   C majorC                    D MajorD
He?d climb up on his roof at night and watch Pancho Villa?s war
   G+G
Jack Pershing come with silver guns
   B minorBm
?For Villa? Granddad said
  A minorAm                C majorC        D MajorD
But Pancho he went underground in the hills of old Jua rez

   C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
Those rollin? smoky hills of old Jua rez
   C majorC      G+G
Those god forsaken hills
     B minorBm        C majorC
They will lure you to your death
  A minorAm       D MajorD        E minorEm
Be ware the dusty hills of old Jua rez

     G+G
?There?s gold in them there hills?
     B minorBm
So said a man with a broken tooth
     C majorC
We could run some cocaine powder
     D MajorD
Right on by the custom?s booth
   G+G
I was broke I needed money
  B minorBm
To pacify Inez
   A minorAm              C majorC        D MajorD
So I started doing business in the hills of old Jau rez
  G+G
The adrenaline and blood boiled up
  B minorBm
Oh man ain?t this a rush
      C majorC
When you?re running through the gunfire
    D MajorD
And the Okatio brush
  G+G           B minorBm
My partner was a Tiwa kid straight off of the ?res
    A minorAm                C majorC        D MajorD
But he ratted me and disappeared in the hills of old Jua rez
 G+G          B minorBm
A augmentedA bullet in my back, a bullet in my leg
C majorC               A minorAm
Bullets flying by my ears they taught me how to pray
 G+G                   B minorBm
I prayed I?d reach the river bank where I had left Inez
   A minorAm                    C majorC        D MajorD
But I fell through rock and prickly pear in the hills of old Jua rez

   C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
Those rolling smoky hills of old Jua rez
   C majorC      G+G
Those god forsaken hills
     B minorBm        C majorC
They will lure you to your death
  A minorAm       D MajorD        E minorEm
Be ware the dusty hills of old Jua rez

G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G B minorBm A minorAm C majorC D MajorD

  G+G
The Narco Trafficante boys
   B minorBm
They own the borderline
C majorC             D MajorD
Fat cats up in Washington **** and moan and whine
G+G
I?m in Huntsville Prison
  B minorBm
I?m dreaming of Inez
   A minorAm             C majorC        D MajorD
She?s waiting for me there in the hills of old Jua rez

   C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
Those rollin? smoky hills of old Jua rez
   C majorC      G+G
Those god forsaken hills
     B minorBm        C majorC
They will lure you to your death
  A minorAm       D MajorD        E minorEm
Be ware the dusty hills of old Jua rez
   A minorAm      D MajorD        G+G
Those god forsaken hills of old Jua rez
