I don't use bar chords for this, for Bm I like the 003321 (capo III). I wrote this out
to have
the whole song w/ lyrics, the chords are the same as anybody. Don't worry about being on
the beat with your singing,
it works well with this style of music.

"Gringo Honeymoon"
Capo III
Intro
Asus, A, Asus, A
AWe were standing on a Bmmountain top
DWhere the cactus flowers Agrow
AI was wishing that the Bmworld would stop,
DWhen you said we'd better Ago.
AWe took a rowboat 'cross the BmRio Grande,
DCaptain Pablo was our Aguide.
AFor two dollars in a Gweathered hand
DHe rowed us to the other Aside.
EAnd we were dreamin' like
F#mThe end was not in sight
DAnd we dreamed all afterAnoon.
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mSo we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, A
a Gringo Honeymoon
AWe stepped out onto the gBmolden sand
DThe sun was high and burning Adown
ARented donkeys from an oldBm blind man
DSaddled up and Arode to town
ATied our donkeys to an Bmironwood tree
DBy the street where the children Aplay
AWe walked in the first place Gwe could see
DServin' cold beer in the Ashade
EWe were drinkin' like
F#mthe end was not in sight
DAnd we drank all afterAnoon
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mso we could celebrate

DWas running from the DAEA
AHe left a home, a wife, a Bmfamily
DWhen he made his getAaway

AHe knew a crusty cabalBmlero
DWho played an old gut string guiAtar
AAnd he sang like Marty RBmobbins could
DPlayed like no one I've Aknown
AFor a while we knew that Glife was good
