Tom Russell - Hills of old juarez

A ^Bmwanderin? through the world Let?s ^Ccut right to the quick I met ^Dme a dark-eyed girl I was ^Gliving in El Paso with a ^Bmwoman named Inez We?d ^Amstare out every evening At the ^Chills of old Jau ^Drez

^GInez she?d had a grand daddy who?d ^Bmowned the dry good store He?d ^Cclimb up on his roof at night and watch ^DPancho Villa?s war Jack ^GPershing come with silver guns ?For ^BmVilla? Granddad said But ^AmPancho he went underground in the ^Chills of old Jua ^Drez

Those ^Crollin? smoky ^Dhills of old Jua ^Grez Those ^Cgod forsaken ^Ghills They will ^Bmlure you to your ^Cdeath Be ^Amware the dusty ^Dhills of old Jua ^Emrez

?There?s ^Ggold in them there hills? So said a ^Bmman with a broken tooth We could ^Crun some cocaine powder Right on ^Dby the custom?s booth I was ^Gbroke I needed money To ^Bmpacify Inez So I ^Amstarted doing business in the ^Chills of old Jau ^Drez The ^Gadrenaline and blood boiled up Oh ^Bmman ain?t this a rush When you?re ^Crunning through the gunfire And the ^DOkatio brush My ^Gpartner was a Tiwa kid ^Bmstraight off of the ?res But he ^Amratted me and disappeared in the ^Chills of old Jua ^Drez A ^Gbullet in my back, a ^Bmbullet in my leg ^CBullets flying by my ears they ^Amtaught me how to pray I ^Gprayed I?d reach the river bank where ^BmI had left Inez But I ^Amfell through rock and prickly pear in the ^Chills of old Jua ^Drez

Those ^Crolling smoky ^Dhills of old Jua ^Grez Those ^Cgod forsaken ^Ghills They will ^Bmlure you to your ^Cdeath Be ^Amware the dusty ^Dhills of old Jua ^Emrez

The ^GNarco Trafficante boys They ^Bmown the borderline ^CFat cats up in Washington ^D**** and moan and whine ^GI?m in Huntsville Prison I?m ^Bmdreaming of Inez She?s ^Amwaiting for me there in the ^Chills of old Jua ^Drez

Those ^Crollin? smoky ^Dhills of old Jua ^Grez Those ^Cgod forsaken ^Ghills They will ^Bmlure you to your ^Cdeath Be ^Amware the dusty ^Dhills of old Jua ^Emrez Those ^Amgod forsaken ^Dhills of old Jua ^Grez
