verse 1 G North of the border of Old Mexico G Am7 D7 I rode one day to the cow town of San Angelo D7 A hot sun was glowing a warm wind was blowing D7 G Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss G Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame G Am7 D7 Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain D7 Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds G G7 She was a beauty Secora was my lover's name C I met her down in Laredo C G Everyone there in this border town called her The Rose G Mexican cowboys drank to Secora G G7 C Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose D7 G Am7 D7 An outlaw above all the rest now my heart beats so madly D7 G Soon she will be at my side verse 2 G She sent a message a long time ago G Am7 D7 Secora had promised to meet me in San Angelo D7 I was aware of the chance I was taking D7 G I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl G I must be with her I can't stay away G Am7 D7 Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days D7 If it means death then I'll have to chance it D7 G G7 Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms C At ten o'clock in the morning C G I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street G Where was Secora had she forgotten G G7 C This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet D7 G Am7 D7 But something is wrong with our plans and I fear death awaits me D7 G Here on this hot dusty street verse 3 G Up on a housetop but still I can see G Am7 D7 There hides a man with the rifle it's pointed at me D7 I might escape from the man with the rifle D7 G But there are others just like him that I cannot see G Back of each window the click of a gun G Am7 D7 Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run D7 Where is Secora will my eyes see her D7 G G7 Then in a moment she runs from her door down the street C Up on your horse she is crying C G Ride out of town it's a trap and they're waiting for you G But if I ride out she must ride with me G G7 C Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone D7 G Am7 D7 For a bullet is well on its way and it finds my Secora D7 G She dies as she falls in my arms verse 4 G Tears dim my vision but plainly I see G Am7 D7 The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me D7 I walk to meet him my one thought is beat him D7 G G7 He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die C I beat his draw and I shot him C G Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly G My gun is empty or more I would shoot him G G7 C Now there are others just like him that want me to die D7 G Am7 D7 Their bullets are coming my way how they hurt when they hit me D7 G The pain makes me fall to the ground Verse 5 G Gone is my strength just the will left to fight G Am7 D7 I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life D7 If I must die let me find Secora D7 G Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left G Blindly I search and it isn't in vain G Am7 D7 I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain D7 Life is no more but we're together D7 G Even in death she's my lover it's over goodbye
