[Intro] | Am | Bb-5 | Am | Bb-5 | [Verse 1]
Am                               Bb-5
 With eyes that hide the man within

Am                           Bb-5
 You see behind the eyes of, other men

Am                                 Em        Cmaj7/E   Em6
 You've lived and died and come to life again

Cmaj7/E      Am                                    F
 And now you stand alone at the crossroads of your mind

                              Dm
You've left your yesterdays behind

                              Bb C
But which road leads you to tomorrow?

Charro ...
[Verse 2]
Am                                Bb-5
 You've turned your back on yesterday

Am                             Bb-5
 Betrayed a man who swore he'd make you pay

Am                              Em        Cmaj7/E   Em6
 For when you left you took his pride away

Cmaj7/E          Am                              F
  You know he'll never let you break away so easily

                                    Dm
You'll have to fight, before you're free

                               Bb  C
But how much more time can you borrow?

  | D | Dm |
Charro ...
[Middle 8]
Dm                           A7
 Now in a single moment your past grows dim

A7                                   Dm
 One thought goes racing across your mind

D7                              Gm
 You ride to meet the woman you stole from him

   E7
Oh no! ... Charro don't go!...

             E7        | Am | Bb-5 | Am | Bb-5 |
Charro don't go!
[Verse 3]
Am                                Bb-5
 There's something hanging in the wind

Am                            Bb-5
 Your past is catching up and closing in

Am                               Em         Cmaj7/E   Em6
 You've been halfway to hell and back again

Cmaj7/E      Am                                       F
 And now you laugh in the devil's face with your last breath

                                Dm
You'll run a race with life and death

                           Bb  C
But will you live to see tomorrow?
