Matamoros chords by Billy Walker
Guitar chords with lyrics
D G
In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoros
A7 D
Round the plaza the couples are walking to music so sweet
D G
I found my love not too long ago in Matamoros
A7 D
But I?m feeling low as the beggar who sits in the street
G
Oh the promises that she made with eyes black as midnight
E7 A7
How could I know how fickle her promise could be
D G
Now I?m back to find what I feel is mine in Matamoros
A7 D
And there?ll be bad trouble if I catch her cheating on me

D G
Streets are narrow and dark and Tequila runs free in Matamoros
A7 D
I stop for one moment outside of Miguel?s swinging door
D G
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting sound of Grenada
A7 D
She once called it our song and vowed she?d be mine evermore
G
Then across the square with this wild young Vaquero I see her
E7 A7
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven black hair
D G
Fate may take a hand when I face this man from Matamoros
A7 D
For the love of my woman is one thing that I'll never share
D G
Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoros
A7 D
And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me more than life
D G
I can still hear her cry I love you and I?ll prove it Mañana
A7 D
Then seeing my danger she jumped in front of his knife
G
I know the stories they?ll tell in the dim lit casinos
E7 A7
Of the raven haired beauty who for her love lay dead on the floor
D G
They?ll speak of the fight with the gringo that night in Matoamoros
A7 D
And wonder what happened for he never returned anymore
