[Verse 1]
E A
When the gallows whispered my name I fled south of the border
B B7 B E
There I sought refuge amongst an old Mexican town
E A
Leaving behind all my troubles and wrongs from my past life
B B7 B E
I met an angel to help this wild horse settle down
A E
The shade of her hair is black as the night time around me
B B7 B E
One look from her eyes could make the tequila taste sweeter
A E
On a hot summer night we were married in a Mexican valley
B7 E
This refugee outlaw and a beautiful Mexican bride
C#m E
Walk through the valley, where angels fly
C#m F# B |E |
Walk through the valley, where angels fly
A |B B7 |E |
[Verse 2]
E A
On the night of the marriage we headed to an old hacienda
B B7 B E
My love in my arms and the music of a mariachi band
E A
When all of a sudden my troubles from my past life, they found me
B B7 B E
In the form of a sheriff who swore that he'd track me down
A E
When the shouts turn to shots I lost track of the girl I just married
B7 E
In the haze of tequila I could not tell where I was shooting
A E
When the gun smoke had cleared, my true love lay dead on the bar floor
B B7 E
And though I was breathing, my heart was telling me I was gone
C#m E
Wade through the valley, where angels cry (x4)
