[Verse]
D                                    A
Hot chilli 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
