Marty Robbins - San angelo

^GNorth of the border of Old Mexico ^GI rode one day to the cow town of ^Am7San Ange^D7lo A ^D7hot sun was glowing a warm wind was blowing ^D7Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to ^Gkiss ^GCheeks that put blushing red roses to shame ^GLips that were fresher than flowers when ^Am7kissed by the ^D7rain ^D7Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty Secora was my lover's ^Gname ^{G7 C}I met her down in Laredo ^CEveryone there in this border town called her The ^GRose ^GMexican cowboys drank to Secora ^GEveryone loved her but I was the ^G7one that she ^Cchose An ^D7outlaw above all the ^Grest now my heart ^Am7beats so ^D7madly ^D7Soon she will be at my ^Gside

^GShe sent a message a long time ago Se^Gcora had promised to meet me in ^Am7San Ange^D7lo ^D7I was aware of the chance I was taking ^D7I was an outlaw but great was my love for this ^Ggirl ^GI must be with her I can't stay away ^GNights spent without her are lonely and so ^Am7are the ^D7days ^D7If it means death then I'll have to chance it ^D7Only a few moments more and she'll be in my ^Garms ^{G7 C}At ten o'clock in the morning ^CI tied my horse and I started to walk down the ^Gstreet ^GWhere was Secora had she forgotten ^GThis was the day and the hour that she ^G7wanted to ^Cmeet But ^D7something is wrong with our ^Gplans and I fear ^Am7death a^D7waits me ^D7Here on this hot dusty ^Gstreet

^GUp on a housetop but still I can see ^GThere hides a man with the rifle it's ^Am7pointed at ^D7me ^D7I might escape from the man with the rifle ^D7But there are others just like him that I cannot ^Gsee ^GBack of each window the click of a gun ^GDie if I stay and my love for her won't ^Am7let me ^D7run ^D7Where is Secora will my eyes see her ^D7Then in a moment she runs from her door down the st^Greet^{G7 C}Up on your horse she is crying ^CRide out of town it's a trap and they're waiting for ^Gyou ^GBut if I ride out she must ride with me ^GThen in a moment I know that our ^G7chances are ^Cgone For a ^D7bullet is well on its ^Gway and it ^Am7finds my Se^D7cora She ^D7dies as she falls in my ^Garms

^GTears dim my vision but plainly I see The ^Granger that killed her is standing there ^Am7waiting for^D7 me ^D7I walk to meet him my one thought is beat him ^D7He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will ^Gdie ^{G7 C}I beat his draw and I shot him ^CShot him six times just as fast as the bullets would ^Gfly ^GMy gun is empty or more I would shoot him ^GNow there are others just like him that ^G7want me to ^Cdie Their ^D7bullets are coming my ^Gway how they ^Am7hurt when they ^D7hit me The ^D7pain makes me fall to the ^Gground

^GGone is my strength just the will left to fight ^GI hear the sound of the lead as it ^Am7robs me of ^D7life ^D7If I must die let me find Secora ^D7Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments ^Gleft ^GBlindly I search and it isn't in vain ^GI touch the soft velvet hand and it ^Am7eases the ^D7pain ^D7Life is no more but we're together ^D7Even in death she's my lover it's over good^Gbye
