F# B
In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoros
C#7 F#
Round the plaza the couples are walking to music so sweet
F# B
I found my love not too long ago in Matamoros
C#7 F#
But I’m feeling low as the beggar who sits in the street
B
Oh the promises that she made with eyes black as midnight
G#7 C#7
How could I know how fickle her promise could be
F# B
Now I’m back to find what I feel is mine in Matamoros
C#7 F#
And there’ll be bad trouble if I catch her cheating on me
F# B
Streets are narrow and dark and Tequila runs free in Matamoros
C#7 F#
I stop for one moment outside of Miguel’s swinging door
F# B
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting sound of Grenada
C#7 F#
She once called it our song and vowed she’d be mine evermore
B
Then across the square with this wild young Vaquero I see her
G#7 C#7
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven black hair
F# B
Fate may take a hand when I face this man from Matamoros
C#7 F#
For the love of my woman is one thing that I'll never share
F# B
Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoros
C#7 F#
And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me more than life
F# B
I can still hear her cry I love you and I’ll prove it Mañana
C#7 F#
Then seeing my danger she jumped in front of his knife
B
I know the stories they’ll tell in the dim lit casinos
G#7 C#7
Of the raven haired beauty who for her love lay dead on the floor
F# B
They’ll speak of the fight with the gringo that night in Matoamoros
C#7 F#
And wonder what happened for he never returned anymore
