	        A 
Jaquima to freno 
He's an old vaquero 
From another time 
Hands as fine as the 
  D 
Dealers of Reno 
He's been to the ocean 
He's been to the sea 
A 
Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides 
Of an old Visalia tree 
Chorus 1: 
E		A  E 
Hey Mr. Vaquero 
        D 
Put a handle on my pony for me 
                   C# 
Teach me the mystery 
Verse 2: 
A 
Jaquima to freno 
He's an old Amansador 
Still hangin' on  
Just about gone 
Like the California Condor 
D 
He been down to the rodear ground 
Seen him on the movie screen 
  A 
Ah but sometimes I think he's like America 
Only see him in your dreams 
(repeat chorus 1) 
Chorus 2: 
C#        E 
Did they sing all day 
         C# 
Did they dance all night 
         E 
Did they ride their spade bit ponies 
   C# 
Through the golden light 
         E 
Did they find true love 
                      C# 
Was it all a bunch of lies 
E	 		     A 
Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise 
(repeat first verse, choruses 1 and 2 in that order)
