Cancion de amor y muerte R.W. Hampton
(Song of love and death) 4/4
[G] Tonight alone I'm (D7)waiting, Waiting for the(G) moonlight
To drive away the (C)darkness, From this cold gray (G) cell
At last its light has (C) found me, Prison bars that(G) surround me
Have vanished and (C)died, Ride once more (D7)the canyon(G) trails
(G) Way down in the (D7) valley, By the Rio (G) Hondo
Everynight I (D7) go, I go back there in my (G) dreams
All the leaves are (C) turning, With love my heart is (G) burning
For the one that I (D7) know, In the moonlight waits for (G) me
I am but a cowboy, From the foot of the Cristos
Who somehow turned outlaw, By the swiftness of a gun
One night an old pe'cocho, This devil man they call El' Goncho
Placed evil hands on my Marina, He payed dearly for his fun
Way down in the valley, By the Rio Hondo
Everynight I go, I go back there in my dreams
We'll walk along together, And we'll pledge our love forever
For I know with the sunrise, That our love will never be
(Pause) At last moons shadows fading (D7)Big cottonwood stands (G)waiting
As light streaks across (C) the east, They'll come and carry me (G) away
But in this short time that I've (C) got left, I've got time for one more (G) memory trip
For when we're (C) together, It always (D7) seems to ease the (G) pain
(G) Way down in the (D7) valley, By the Rio (G) Hondo
Everynight I (D7) go, I go back there in my (G) dreams
We'll walk along (C)together, And we'll pledge our love (G) forever
For I know with the (D7)sunrise, That our love will never(G) be
