[Verse 1]
Am
When the bandit Chico Cana crossed the river at Boquillas,
E7
Stole the young bride of the rancher Juan Otero,
E7
Juan caught up his fastest mare, and off to Marathon he rode,
Am
To hire himself a gringo pistolero.
Am
Send the word out on the river; tell it through the borderland,
Dm
That the hound of death is howling after Chico Cana's band.
Am
Juan will seal their fate as surely as the rising of the sun,
E7 Am
With the guns of the Gringo Pistolero.

[Verse 2]
Am
The round hat of a trooper cast a shadow 'cross his eyes,
E7
As he listened to the tale of Juan Otero.
E7
At the name of Chico Cana there could be no talk of price,
Am
Just the Gringo's vow of vengeance: "Yo arrero."
Am
He oiled his big Colt automatics, and by daylight he was gone.
Dm
With the coming cold and darkness he rode into Castollon,
Am
A drunken bandit captured read the message, "Talk, or die!"
E7 Am
In the eyes of the Gringo Pistolero.

[Verse 3]
Am
Where the Canyon Colorado twists its way among the rocks
E7
And the ribbon of the sky is long and narrow,
E7
In a jacal of adobe bruised and tied up on the floor
Am
Wept the sweet wife the rancher Juan Otero.
Am
Bandit mirrors in the cliff top flash the message "Now he comes"
Dm
Ask the number of his followers, the number of their guns.
Am
The aviso flashed to Chico like the falling of a stone:
E7 Am
"He comes alone, the Gringo Pistolero."

[Verse 4]
Am
Hidden high above the canyon where the falcon rides the wind,
E7
Chico’s best hawk-eyed aviso, Juan Romero,
E7
Put his mirror in his shirt and gazed with worry toward the rocks
Am
Where he last had seen the Gringo Pistolero.
Am
Pull your sights up to eight hundred, and hold a yard left for the wind,
Dm
And there’s one, by God, aviso that will never flash again.
Am
Weeping red tears from a third eye that’s a gift he cannot feel
E7 Am
From the Springfield of the Gringo Pistolero.

[Verse 5]
Am
"Chico Cana, you have stole your last damn US dollar bill.
E7
I have come for you and all your compañeros.
E7
You can fight and do your damnedest or just send the lady out,"
Am
Came the echo of the Gringo Pistolero.
Am
Bandit rifles in the canyon to the left and to the right,
Dm
Fearful eyes that watched and waited till the falling of the light,
Am
Angry cutthroats that ignored the weeping lady on the floor,
E7 Am
And through the back door came the Gringo Pistolero.
Am G F E7

Am
[Verse 6]
Am
Big Colt autos spitting thunder-death at everything that moved,
E7
Flashing lightning in the jacal long and narrow,
E7
Ending hate and greed and cruelty with final flying truth
Am
From the sure hand of the Gringo Pistolero.
Am
One hot and smoking pistol dropped down empty in the dirt
Dm
And another flashed like magic from inside the Gringo's shirt,
Am
And the lead storm never stopped 'til there was no one left unhurt,
E7 Am
But the lady and the Gringo Pistolero.
Am G F E7

Am
[Verse 7]
Am
Word is spread to Ojinaga where the Conchos tumble down
E7
And a man's death can come swifter than an arrow,
E7
That although the law can be empty words, still justice could be found,
Am
For no border stopped the Gringo Pistolero.
Am
And the old wives tell how Juan's bride came back beautiful and fair,
Dm
And lived happily through children and the years of silver hair,
Am
But the young girls said Otero did not treat her well back there
E7 Am
So she left him for the Gringo Pistolero.
