^CAll my life I've wondered if ^Fwhat I done was ^Cwrong ^CAll I ever cared to do was ^G7ride my pony on I ^Cnever had no heartache^C7 was ^Falways happy and ^Cgay ^CUntil I met a Texas girl who ^G7stole my heart a^Cway

^CWhere the sleepy Rio Grande goes ^Fslowly to the ^Csea It was ^Cthere she promised to be mine through^G7out eternity But the ^Cangels they grew jealous^C7 of her ^Fbeauty and her ^Csmile And ^Ccame along one stormy night and ^G7stole away my ^Cbride The ^Cbirds have hushed their singing^{C7 F}sadness is over the ^Cland The ^Cbirds miss my darling by the ^G7sleepy Rio ^CGrande

Her ^Clips were like the Russian wine her ^Fhair it hung in ^Ccurls Her ^Ccheeks were like the dawn of day that ^G7breaks upon the world She's ^Cgone and left me lonely^C7 I miss t^Fhe touch of her ^Chand Ton^Cight while I am walking by the s^G7leepy Rio ^CGrande

^CWhere the sleepy Rio Grande goes ^Fslowly to the ^Csea It was ^Cthere she promised to be mine through^G7out eternity But the ^Cangels they grew jealous of her ^Fbeauty and her ^Csmile And ^Ccame along one stormy night and ^G7stole away my ^Cbride The ^Cbirds have hushed their singing^{C7 F}sadness is over the ^Cland The ^Cbirds miss my darling by the ^G7sleepy Rio ^CGrande
