[Intro]

[1st verse]
G C
By my dyin’ fire tonight, I see your face within the light
D G
It smiles and fades, like fleeting shadows on the ground
G C
And the river runnin’ near, brings back a song I used to hear
D G
When we were one, and danced the streets of Spanish Town
[Chorus]
G C D G
Rio Grande, agua cantando, en la noche, yo oigo tu canción
G C D G
Mi guitarra, canta contigo, una canción de, mi corazón
[2nd verse]
G C
So, I’ll hold you once again, it’s just a dream I know but then
D G
Better in dream, then never holdin’ you to me
G C
And in the fire’s dyin’ glow, I feel your warmth, and I remember oh
D G
So well the way our lovin’ used to be
[Chorus]
G C D G
Rio Grande, agua cantando, en la noche, yo oigo tu canción

Mi guitarra, canta contigo, una canción de, mi corazón

[3rd verse]
G C
Ocotillo’s flaming flower, it grew as red as my heart’s blood the hour
D G
You left me for the ways of San Antone
G C
And now beside the waters flow, my fire dies, the memories go
D G
And once again, the dream is gone, and I’m alone
[Chorus]

Rio Grande, agua cantando, en la noche, yo oigo tu canción
G C D G
Mi guitarra, canta contigo, una canción de, mi corazón
