Seashores of Old Mexico George Strait
[G] [G/F#] [G/E] [D]
[G] [G/F#] [G/E] [D]
I l[G]eft, out of T[G/F#]ucson, with [G/E]no destin[D]ation in m[Am]ind.[D] [Am] [D]
I was r[Am]unnin' from tr[D]ouble and the j[Am]ail-term the J[D]udge had in m[G]in[G/F#]d.[G/E] [D]
And the b[Dm7]order meant fre[G]edom, a ne[Dm7]w life, rom[G]ance,
And t[Dm7]hat's why I thou[G]ght I should [C]go,[Em] [Am] [G/E]
And s[Am]tart my life o[D]ver on the se[Am]ashores of[D] old Mexic[G]o.[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
My f[G]irst night in[G/F#] Juarez, l[G/E]ost all the m[D]oney I h[Am]ad.[D] [Am] [D]
One b[Am]ad senor[D]ita made u[Am]se of one in[D]nocent l[G]ad.[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
But I [Dm7]must keep on r[G]unnin'; it's t[Dm7]oo late to t[G]urn back:
I'm wa[Dm7]nted in T[G]ucson, I'm to[C]ld.[Em] [Am] [G/E]
Yeah, an' [Am]things'll blow o[D]ver on the s[Am]eashores of [D]old Mexi[G]co.[G/F#] [G/E] [D]

Two M[G]exican f[G/F#]armers en r[G/E]oute to a t[D]own I can't s[Am]ay,[D] [Am] [D]
Let me r[Am]ide on the b[D]ack of a fl[Am]atbed half-l[D]oaded with h[G]ay.[G/F#] [G/E] [D]

Where I [Am]slept IN THE [D]SUNSHINE on the s[Am]eashores of o[D]ld Mexic[G]o.[D] [D#] [D#]
(CAPO ON 1)
After [G]one long sies[G/F#]ta, I came[G/E] wide awake i[D]n the ni[Am]ght.[D] [Am] [D]
I was s[Am]tartled [D]by someone[Am] who shadowe[D]d the pa[G]le [G/F#]moonli[G/E]ght.[D]
My n[Dm7]ew-found compa[G]nion, one youn[Dm7]g senorita,[G]
Who [Dm7]offered a[G] broken hello[C],[Em] [Am] [G/E]
To the [Am]gringo she fo[D]und on the s[Am]eashores of [D]old Mexi[G]co.[D] [D#] [D#]
(CAPO ON 2)
She[G] spoke of Son[G/F#]ora and sw[G/E]ore that she'[D]d never [Am]retu[D]rn,[Am] [D]
For her [Am]Mexican [D]husband, s[Am]he really ha[D]d no gre[G]at [G/F#]concer[G/E]n.[D]
'Cause [Dm7]she loved the [G]gringo, my red[Dm7] hair and li[G]ngo:
That's [Dm7]all I nee[G]ded to kn[C]ow.[Em] [Am] [G/E]
Yeah, [Am]I found what I n[D]eeded on the[Am] seashores o[D]f old Me[G]xic[G/F#]o.[G/E] [D]
