Down The Rio Grande

A nice song from a very fine album. The is actually played more like 200230, with hammer ons on the 6th string the high e to make a real of 200232. night light I sobered up and called her name just before the dawn I followed footprints through the sand I knew where she had gone Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande I pulled out of Albuquerque eight state Rolling through Los Cruces I thought I saw her car She always said she?d go some day She never said how far Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande got some family there salty gulf coast air Where the river ends Down the Rio Grande Saw an old gray heron flying wind Bend Called her name in Esperanza?a dusty desert rain But who knows what the hell I?d day If I found her again On the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande Turned south on highway 90, clear mirror Haunted by her dark wet skin moving next to mine I swore that things would change If I could hold her one more time On the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande got some family there salty gulf coast air Where the river ends Down the Rio I bought a bottle in Del Rio, I road co I walked down to the border bridge, I found the break of day I threw that empty bottle off Watched it float away Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande Now I?m Gulf of Mexico Just sink, or else I?ll flow To the rivers end Down the Rio Grande Baby pulled her blue dress on and night Down the Rio Down the Rio
