Chords

[Verse 1]
A               Em
 Oh how the wind did blow

 G                 D
Across the dusty plain

Am            Em
All those who came before

     G               D
Were sworn now to remain

A                  E
She said she loved me

         G              D
I didn't even know her name
[Chorus 1]
Am         E            Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

G                        D
They left their bones in Mexico, yea

A           Em
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh

G                     D
Their voices warned me not to go to Mexico
[Instrumental] | A | Em | G | D | [Verse 2]
A           E
I heard the mission bells

G                  D
Exposed the life betrayed

A           E
The sin you need to hide's

G                     D
In the shadows of the grave

A          Em
I feel the devil here

             G            D
But it's too late to run away
[Chorus 2]
Am              E
Whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa

G                  D
Take me home sweet Mexico

A             Em
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

G                     D
Their voices warned me not to go
[Verse 3]
A            E
I walked the winding trail

     G             D
That led me to the grave

A            Em
The voices called to me and said

G          D
Gringo go away

A          E
The Virgin Mary cries

       G             D
As the sacrifice is made for
[Chorus 3]
Am          Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

G                  D
I left my bones in Mexico, yea

A             Em
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

G
The voices warned me

D
They warned me not to go
[Outro] | A | Em | G | D | x5 | A |
