[Verse 1]
D Em We were standing on a mountain top G Where the cactus flowers grow D Em I was wishing that the world would stop G When you said "We'd better go" D Em We took a row boat across the Rio Grande G D Captain Pablo was our guide C For two dollars in a weathered hand G D He rowed us to the other side
[Chorus 1]
A We were dreaming like Bm The end was not in sight G D And we dreamed all afternoon A We asked the world to wait Bm So we could celebrate G A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 2]
D Em We stepped out onto the golden sand G D The sun was high and burning down D Em Rented donkeys from an old blind man G D Saddled up and rode to town D Em Tied our donkeys to an Ironwood tree G D By the stream where children play D C We went in the first place we could see G D Serving cold beer in the shade
[Chorus 2]
A We were drinking like Bm The end was not in sight G D And we drank all afternoon A We asked the world to wait Bm So we could celebrate G A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 3]
D Em Met a cowboy who said that he G D Was running from the D.E.A D Em He left his home, wife, and family G D When he made his get away D Em We'd followed him on down a street of dust G D To his run-down, one-room shack D C He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us G D "I ain't never goin' back"
[Chorus 3]
A We were flying like Bm The end was not in sight G D And we soared that afternoon A We asked the world to wait Bm So we could celebrate G A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 4]
D Em He said "There's one last place that you should go" G D He took us to the town's best bar D Em He knew a crusty caballero G D Who played an old gut-string guitar D Em And he sang like Marty Robbins could G D Played like no one I've known D C For a while we knew that life was good G It was ours to take back home
[Chorus 2]
A We were singing like Bm The end was not in sight G D And we sang all afternoon A We asked the world to wait Bm So we could celebrate G A gringo honeymoon

D Em We were standing on a mountain top G D Where the cactus flowers grow D Em I was wishing that the world would stop G D When you said we'd better go
