Tom: A
Introdução:
Am
I'm Leaving Houston
C
When I put my boots on
G Am
I'm driving that lonesome highway
Am
South of the border
C
To the crystal clear waters
G
Of a town called durango bay
Am
There's a woman Maria
C
I can't wait to see her
G
It's there that she waits patiently
Am
With a young senorita
C
By the name of Rosita
G Am
They say sure looks alot like me
F
South of the border
G
By crystal clear waters
E Am
I'm going back there someday
F
Where a woman waits for me
G
I'll never be lonely
E Am
On the banks of Durango Bay
Break
Am
In those days long ago
C
How I loved that girl so
G Am
We were so happy and free
Am
Spent our days together
C
Thought I'd stay together
G Am
In the town of Durango Bay
Am
But her father and mother
C
Thought she should wed another
G Am
So they sent Maria away
Am
But not before we made love
C
Under the stars above
G Am
in the fields of Durango Bay
Chorus
F
South of the border
G
By crystal clear waters
E Am
I'm going back there someday
F
Where a woman waits for me
G
I'll never be lonely
E Am
On the banks of Durango Bay
Am
(slowly spoken words with one strum of each chord)
Am
I still feel the flame burn
C
It's for her my heart yearns
G
What a terrible price to pay
Am
But now she is calling
C
Once again I am falling
Am
For the girl from Durango Bay
Am
Chorus
Out
Am
