[Verse 1]
D C
My name is Juan Medina, a Vaquero once was I
D C
Now I live in the air above the pepper trees
D C
Where are all the cattle, that belonged to Captain Dana
D Am7 G D D# D
They're blown away like ashes in the California breeze
[Verse 2]
D C
And once I rode the foothills, and I swung a long reata
D C
I worked the hide and tallow trade in the land I loved
D
I rode in wooden stirrups
C
And the dust raised by my ponies
D Am7 G D D# D
Was smoke, from my alter, offered up to the God above
[Chorus]
G Bm D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
G Bm D A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
G Bm D C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C D
I am still here, todavía estoy aquí
C D D# D
I am still here, todavia estoy aqui
[Verse 3]
D
In the canyon and barrancas
C
And willows by the creek bank
D C
I chased the wild cattle through the live oak trees
D
Cross valleys ridge and mesa
C
And the hills baked oh so yellow
D Am7 G D D# D
My ponies sleek and dancing were all a man would need
[Chorus]
G Bm D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
G Bm D A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
G Bm D C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C D
I am still here, todavía estoy aquí
C D
I am still here, todavia estoy aqui
[Verse 4]
D C
In the fog of early morning, o' the misty haze of twilight
D C
Beyond the sagging ruins of these adobe walls
D C
You may see me in the dust that shimmers in the half light
D C G D D# D
Or hear me in the whisper, of the grass so green and tall
[Chorus]
G Bm D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
G Bm D A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
G Bm D C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C D
I am still here, todavía estoy aquí
C D
I am still here, todavia estoy aqui
[Outro]
D C
My name is Juan Medina a Vaquero once was I
D C
Now I live, in the air above of the pepper trees.....
