One of my favorites, its one of those good spainish sounding songs.

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

(G) I am but a (D7) cowboy

From the foot of the (G) Cristos

Who somehow turned (C) outlaw

By the swiftness of a (G) gun

One night an old (C) pe'cocho

This devil man they call El (G) Goncho

Placed evil hands on my (C) Marina

He payed dearly for his (G) fun

(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

(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 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
