D                                    A 
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun 
                       G    D 
Dust on my face and my cape, 
                        A 
Me and Magdalena on the run 
                             G     D 
I think this time we shall escape. 

D                                    A 
Sold my guitar to the baker's son 
                                G   D                                    A 
For a few crumbs and a place to hide, 
                      A 
But I can get another one 
                                  G     D          
And I'll play for Magdalena as we ride. 

A 
No llores, mi querida 

Dios nos vigila 
                               G      D 
Soon the horse will take us to Durango. 
A 
Agarrame, mi vida 

Soon the desert will be gone 
                              G     D 
Soon you will be dancing the fandango. 

D                                    A 
Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people 
                            G   D 
Hoofbeats like castanets on stone. 
                                     A 
At night I dream of bells in the village steeple 
                             G    D 
Then I see the bloody face of Ramon. 

D                                   A 
Was it me that shot him down in the cantina 
                             G  D 
Was it my hand that held the gun? 
                      A 
Come, let us fly, my Magdalena 
                                         G    D 
The dogs are barking and what's done is done. 

A 
No llores, mi querida 

Dios nos vigila 
                               G     D 
Soon the horse will take us to Durango. 
A 
Agarrame, mi vida 

Soon the desert will be gone 
                            G        D 
Soon you will be dancing the fandango. 

D                                A 
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade 
                                  G  D 
And watch the young torero stand alone. 
                                  A 
We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed 
                                G     D 
When they rode with Villa into Torreon. 

D                                         A 
Then the padre will recite the prayers of old 
                                   G   A 
In the little church this side of town. 
                               A 
I will wear new boots and an earring of gold 
                                   G             D 
You'll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown. 

D                               A 
The way is long but the end is near 
                       G    D 
Already the fiesta has begun. 
                       A 
The face of God will appear 
                         G       D 
With His serpent eyes of obsidian. 

A 
No llores, mi querida 

Dios nos vigila 
                               G     D 
Soon the horse will take us to Durango. 
A 
Agarrame, mi vida 

Soon the desert will be gone 
                             G      D 
Soon you will be dancing the fandango. 

D                              A 
Was that the thunder that I heard? 
                                     G  D 
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain 
                             A 
Come sit by me, don't say a word 
                        G    D 
Oh, can it be that I am slain? 

D                            A 
Quick, Magdalena, take my gun 
                                     G   D 
Look up in the hills, that flash of light. 
                    A 
Aim well my little one 
                               G   D 
We may not make it through the night. 

A 
No llores, mi querida 

Dios nos vigila 
                                G    D 
Soon the horse will take us to Durango. 
A 
Agarrame, mi vida 

Soon the desert will be gone 
                              G      D 
Soon you will be dancing the fandango.
