  A                    D
Down at the border, I once heard some music
       A                         E
That moved like the heat from a flame
      A                       D
One night on a Friday, they stole a Winchester
      A          E        A
The border was never the same

♫ Verse 2:
    A                        D
I still hear the music, the Bold Mariachi’s
         A                         E
Brought all of their cool to the stage
       A                              D
They shouldn’t have been there, the rules had been written
     A        E            A
But somebody tore out the page
  D                  A         D
Yipeee   iiiyyy   kiiiiy    aaaay
  D                  E        A

   A                       D
I came for the contest, I came for the challenge
   A                      E
I came for the battle of bands
      A                     D
The prize was a rifle
a nickel-clad beauty
      A        E          A
The finest in all of the land
  D                  A         D
Yipeee   iiiyyy   kiiiiy    aaaay

      A                             D
The bands had all finished, when a young senorita
  A                               E
Called out from the back of the crowd
    A                      D
We came to play music, we came to bring healing
       A            E              A
We’ve come and we bring you this sound
  D                  A         D
Yipeee   iiiyyy   kiiiiy    aaaay
  D                  E        A

        A                       D
Their fingers were flyin’, the sound of the guitar
       A                  E
Their voices in harmony blend
   A                   D
Accordian playing, a song for the ages
       A      E        A
That nobody wanted to end
  D                  A         D
Yipeee   iiiyyy   kiiiiy    aaaay
  D                  E        A

The whole town  was cheering, the battle was over
      A                          E
The judges had laid down their quills
     A                     D
The Bold Mariachi’s, gave such a performance
     A             E             A
That no one could rival their skills
  D                  A         D
Yipeee   iiiyyy   kiiiiy    aaaay
