[Intro] Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
                Dm            Am
South Coast the wild coast is lonely

        F                    E7    F  E
You may win a card game at Jolon

        Am         Dm        Am
But the lion still rules the Barranca

      Dm           Em     Am
And a man there is always alone
[Verse]
                Dm      Am
My name is Juan Hano de Castro

   F            Em          Am
My father was a Spanish Grandee

             F          Dm
But I won my wife in a card game

   F               Em             Am
To hell with those lords o'er the sea
[Verse]
                Dm         Am
I picked up the ace, I had won her

   F               Em         Am
My heart which was down at my feet

                F           Dm
Jumped up to my throat in a hurry

       F             Em          Am
Like a warm summer's day she was sweet
[Chorus]
                 Dm            Am
South Coast the wild coast is lonely

        F                    E7    F  E
You may win a card game at Jolon

        Am         Dm        Am
But the lion still rules the Barranca

      Dm           Em     Am
And a man there is always alone
[Verse]
                Dm       Am
Her arms had to tighten around me

      F                         E
As we rode up the hill from the south

      Am         Dm            Am
Not a word did I hear from her that day

     F              Em        Am
Or a kiss from her pretty red mouth
[Verse]
              Dm       Am
We came to my cabin at twilight

        F                         E
And the stars twinkled out on the coast

         Am          Dm        Am
She soon loved the valley, the orchard

     F               Em          Am
But I knew that she loved me the most
[Chorus]
                 Dm            Am
South Coast the wild coast is lonely

        F                    E7    F  E
You may win a card game at Jolon

        Am         Dm        Am
But the lion still rules the Barranca

      Dm           Em     Am
And a man there is always alone
[Verse]
           Dm        Am
Then I got hurt in a landslide

        F        Em          Am
Crushed hip and twice broken bone

                F         Dm
She saddled our pony like lightning

     F          Em        Am
Rode off in the night all alone
[Verse]
                      Dm     Am
But the lion screamed in the Barranca

         F        Em          Am
And the Pony fell back on the slide

                  F               Dm
My young wife lay dead in the moonlight

   F                Em           Am
My heart died that night with my bride
[Chorus]
                 Dm            Am
South Coast the wild coast is lonely

        F                    E7    F  E
You may win a card game at Jolon

        Am         Dm        Am
But the lion still rules the Barranca

      Dm           Em     Am
And a man there is always alone
[Outro] Am C F C Am
