Matamoros chords by Billy Walker

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD                    G+G
In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoros
     A7A7                    D MajorD
Round the plaza the couples are walking to music so sweet
D MajorD                    G+G
I found my love not too long ago in Matamoros
    A7A7                    D MajorD
But I?m feeling low as the beggar who sits in the street

    G+G
Oh the promises that she made with eyes black as midnight
E7E7                      A7A7
How could I know how fickle her promise could be
  D MajorD                     G+G
Now I?m back to find what I feel is mine in Matamoros
  A7A7                         D MajorD
And there?ll be bad trouble if I catch her cheating on me

D MajorD                            G+G
Streets are narrow and dark and Tequila runs free in Matamoros
 A7A7                        D MajorD
I stop for one moment outside of Miguel?s swinging door
  D MajorD                        G+G
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting sound of Grenada
  A7A7                         D MajorD
She once called it our song and vowed she?d be mine evermore

   G+G
Then across the square with this wild young Vaquero I see her
E7E7                        A7A7
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven black hair
   D MajorD                       G+G
Fate may take a hand when I face this man from Matamoros
    A7A7                      D MajorD
For the love of my woman is one thing that I'll never share

  D MajorD                          G+G
Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoros
   A7A7                            D MajorD
And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me more than life
   D MajorD                         G+G
I can still hear her cry I love you and I?ll prove it Mañana
   A7A7                     D MajorD
Then seeing my danger she jumped in front of his knife

 G+G
I know the stories they?ll tell in the dim lit casinos
E7E7                             A7A7
Of the raven haired beauty who for her love lay dead on the floor
    D MajorD                           G+G
They?ll speak of the fight with the gringo that night in Matoamoros
  A7A7                      D MajorD
And wonder what happened for he never returned anymore
