Run For The Border(Chords)

	        
C 
A hundred dollars over the border 

                           G7 
A thousand miles out of my mind 


Oh what was I thinking 
  
                                        C 
Thinking I could drink all that Mexican wine 



And who in the world is this woman 

                    F 
I've never seen her before 

                       C 
But I've got a feeling that she's got a husband 

G7                           C 
Someone just kicked down the door 


                   G7 
Better run for the border 
  
                      C 
He's never gonna understand 

              F 
Better find a place to hide 
  
       G7                    C 
On the other side of the Rio Grande 



Jose he's tall dark and handsome 

                                G7 
She said as she reached for her cloths 


But he's mean as a snake 
  
                                             C 
When his woman you take right from under his nose 



I said this is a great time to tell me 

                             F 
She said I thought he was in jail 

                     C 
Well I'm Jose's wife Jose's got a knife 

G7                      C 
And Jose is hot on your trail 


                   G7 
Better run for the border 
  
                       C 
Jose he is a dangerous man 

              F 
Better find a place to hide 
  
       G7                    C 
On the other side of the Rio Grande 

  
                                
So I ran through the streets of Laredo 
  
                       G7 
Naked as the day I was born 


People were staring and clapping  

                               C 
And laughing and honking their horns 



As I passed a church on the corner 

                            F 
I thought about stopping to pray 

                           C 
Then a voice from the blue said I'll watch over you 

G7                            C 
But we'd better stay ahead of Jose 


                   G7 
Better run for the border 
  
                       C 
Jose he is a dangerous man 

              F 
Better find a place to hide 
  
       G7                    C 
On the other side of the Rio Grande 


                   G7 
Better run for the border  

                     C 
Jose will never understand 

              F 
Better find a place to hide 
  
       G7                    C 
On the other side of the Rio Grande
