Tuning: E A D G B E

^GI remember the palm trees swaying

Across the river the sweet music playing

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^GOut on the levee with the full moon above me

My Mexican lady Lord how she loved me

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^A7Laughing singing in the warm night air ^GLoving that woman with the raven hair we were

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^GStrolling with my lover hand in hand Oh I'd ^Emgive anything to be

^A7Down on the Rio ^D7Grande

^GEndless highways and wide open spaces

Children smile with their sun burnt faces

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^GAll the love that my lady was giving

Was the sweetest part of living

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^A7And if these memories could take me there ^GI'd be loving my woman with the raven hair I'd be

^D7Down on the Rio Grande

^GStrolling with my lover hand in hand Oh I'd ^Emgive anything to be

^A7Down on the Rio ^D7Grande

^GStrolling with my lover hand in hand Oh I'd ^Emgive anything to be

^A7Down on the Rio ^D7Grande
