Gringo Honeymoon by Robert Earl Keen
Gringo Honeymoon
Capo III
Intro
Asus, A, Asus, A
A Bm
We were standing on a mountain top
D A
Where the cactus flowers grow
A Bm
I was wishing that the world would stop,
D A
When you said we'd better go.
A Bm
We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande,
D A
Captain Pablo was our guide.
A G
For two dollars in a weathered hand
D A
He rowed us to the other side.
E
And we were dreamin' like
F#m
The end was not in sight
D A
And we dreamed all afternoon.
E
We asked the world to wait
F#m
So we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, A
a Gringo Honeymoon
A Bm
We stepped out onto the golden sand
D A
The sun was high and burning down
A Bm
Rented donkeys from an old blind man
D A
Saddled up and rode to town
A Bm
Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree
D A
By the street where the children play
A G
We walked in the first place we could see
D A
Servin' cold beer in the shade
E
We were drinkin' like
F#m
the end was not in sight
D A
And we drank all afternoon
E
We asked the world to wait
F#m
so we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, A
A gringo honeymoon
A Bm
Met a cowboy who said that he
D A
Was running from the DEA
A Bm
He left a home, a wife, a family
D A
When he made his getaway
A Bm
We followed him on down a street of dust
D A
To his one room run-down shack
A G
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us
D A
I ain't never goin' back
E
We were flyin' like
F#m
the end was not in sight
D A
And we soared all afternoon
E
We asked the world to wait
F#m
so we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, A
A gringo honeymoon
A Bm
He said there's one last place that you should go
D A
He took us to the town's best bar
A Bm
He knew a crusty caballero
D A
Who played an old gut string guitar
A Bm
And he sang like Marty Robbins could
D A
Played like no one I've known
A G
For a while we knew that life was good
D A
It was ours to take back home
E
We were singin' like
F#m
the end was not in sight
D A
And we sang all afternoon
E
We asked the world to wait
F#m
so we could celebrate
D (ring) A
A gringo honeymoon
A (spoken) Bm
We were standin' on a mountain top
D A
Where the cactus flowers grow
A Bm
I was wishin' that the world would stop
D D
When you said...
Asus, A, Asus, A (outro)
we'd better go
--End--
