A
This is my third night
Under bright shooting stars
D A
I have crossed into Mexico
E
Maybe that's where you are
D A
You told me you'd come here
D
If our love should end
A
Eighty miles past the border
E A
On the Mexican wind
A
So I followed the dusty roads
Into Flores Magon
D A
And they said you had left there
E
For Aquiles Serdan
D A
You told me you'd come here
D
If our love should end
A
Eighty miles past the border
E A
On the Mexican wind
D
There's a place in the desert
A
Where we let it begin
D
We would dance close together
A
As the candles would dim
D
In a quiet cantina
A
With sweet mandolins
Bm
As they'd serenade softly
E A
On the Mexican wind
SOLO
A
My life seems to slow down
The further I go
D A
Into the bare heart
E
Of old Mexico
D A
Still I keep searching for someone
D
Who once let me in
A
But somehow I lost him
E A
To the Mexican wind
D
There's a place in the desert
A
Where we let it begin
D
We would dance close together
A
As the candles would dim
D
In a quiet cantina
A
With sweet mandolins
Bm
As they'd serenade softly
E F#m D
On the Mexican wind
D
Eighty miles past the border
E A
on the Mexican wind
