Down On The Rio Grande

Tom: D

G
I remember the palm trees swaying


Across the river the sweet music playing

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
Out on the levee with the full moon above me


My Mexican lady Lord how she loved me

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


A7
Laughing singing in the warm night air

G
Loving that woman with the raven hair we were

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand

       Em
Oh I'd give anything to be 

A7              D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
Endless highways and wide open spaces


Children smile with their sun burnt faces

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
All the love that my lady was giving


Was the sweetest part of living

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


A7
And if these memories could take me there

G
I'd be loving my woman with the raven hair I'd be

D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand

       Em
Oh I'd give anything to be
 
A7              D7
Down on the Rio Grande


G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand

       Em
Oh I'd give anything to be
 
A7              D7
