Cifras
The Bandit Joaquin

                          Bm                                      G  
From the broken hills of Mexico
          A                                              Bm  
We took the horses we stole
             Bm                              G  
To Sonora and the California mines
                             A                                    Bm  
Where you gringos dig for gold
             G                              Bm  
Even north to the Oregon line
             G                            Bm  
The story is the same
  G                                                 D                      Bm  
All your women they tremble in fear
                     G                                 F#7                  Bm  
At the mention of my name
        Bm                                                    G  
I rob the miner on the Coulterville Road
     A                                                            Bm  
I leave his blood on the ground
                Bm                                                 G  
Like mist through oak and digger pine
          A                                 Bm  
I move without a sound
                G                                      Bm  
Your finest horses belong to me
        G                                      Bm  
I take them as I please
     G  
     G                                         D                      Bm  
I line my pockets with your gold
                          G                                                         F#  
And I am gone with the midnight breeze
Bm  
I am the bandit Joaquin
                                                                                                  F#7  
I live in the wild with the bear and wolverine
G                                                            Bm  
Over hill and valley I fly as in a dream
                          G                                    F#7                                                    Bm  
I am the ghost I am the fox I am the bandit Joaquin
     Bm                                         G  
There is no use to wonder why
          A                                 Bm  
My reasons are my own
             Bm                                                 G  
The hatred I feel for the Anglo blood
                A                                 Bm  
Lies deep within my bones
G                                    Bm  
My segundo is Three Finger Jack
             G                                                      Bm  
He cuts off the Chinaman's ears
G                                                                                    D                         Bm  
And wears them like a necklace around his throat
                     G                                         F#7            Bm  
He's a man who knows no fear
                Bm                                         G  
The fools up there who make your laws
                          A                                            Bm  
They are lawyers, they are thieves
  Bm                                                      G  
They want a devil that they can blame
                     A                                            Bm  
And Joaquin is what they need
          G                                      Bm  
So I'm the ghost of El Dorado
                        G                                            Bm  
but the blame is on their heads
          G                                                      D                              Bm  
At night when hoof beats shake they ground
                G                                         F#  
They tremble in their beds
  Bm  
I am the bandit Joaquin
                                                                                                     F#7  
I live in the wild with the bear and wolverine
G                                                            Bm  
Over hill and valley I fly as in a dream
                          G                                    F#7                                                    Bm  
I am the ghost I am the fox I am the bandit Joaquin
     G                                                 Bm  
Captain Love and his ranger band
                G                                            Bm  
They said they took my head
                G                                            Bm  
The fools rode into a stranger's camp
                          G                                              F#  
And they left the wrong man dead
G                         Bm  
Others say I never was
                        G                                         Bm  
I am a dream of what could be
             G                              A              Bm  
But even if I had never lived
             G                                            F#7  
You would have invented me
Bm  
I am the bandit Joaquin
                                                                                                  F#7  
I live in the wild with the bear and wolverine
G                                                         Bm  
Over hill and valley I fly as in a dream
                          G                                 F#7                                                      Bm  
I am the ghost I am the fox I am the bandit Joaquin
