Bob Dylan – Romance In Durango (Guitar)

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
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

                                     G  D
    Soon the horse will take us to Durango.

      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

                                    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

                                     G  D
    Soon the horse will take us to Durango.

      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

                                    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  D
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

                                     G  D
    Soon the horse will take us to Durango.

      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

                                    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

                                     G  D
    Soon the horse will take us to Durango.

      A
    Agarrame, mi vida

                                    G  D
    Soon you will be dancing the fandango.
