[Intro]
Gm7
[Verse 1]
Gm7 C
About a million stars in that desert sky
Gm7
So high and lonesome it can make you want to cry
Or drive your young blood wild
C
And a burning glow above that northern ridge
Gm7
Three day ride will get you straight down to old Juarez
A fool's El Dorado
[Chorus 1]
Gm N.C.
He got a taste for Mescal and sweet perfume
Gm N.C.
Didn't take long to get him in the back room
Gm
All of sixteen and first taste of the border
[Verse 2]
Gm7 C
There's a pile of bones out on the desert floor
Gm7
All that's left of el Conquistador.. the conqueror
C
Well I rode that beast down into the ground
Through every draw and every border town
Gm7
That devil carried me
[Chorus 2]
Gm N.C.
You watch a few go down to the fire or the rope
Gm N.C. Gm
You leave little to chance and nothing to hope
Gm7
An old 24 and nothing could hold me down
C
(Ain't gonna ride no more)
Gm7
Ain't gonna ride no more
[Verse 3]
C
Well you cross it once you're gonna cross it again
Gm7
Something keeps you coming back to that shadowland
And so I did for the mysteries
C
To hear that old soul stirrer slamming through the night
Gm7
Tombstone train cuts its own daylight
