Tonart: E minor
Verse 1
Em
B
Em
D
G
I loved the Mexican maiden
D
G
more than I loved my life
When I had no gold to offer her,
D
G
Em
she refused to be my wife
Am
Em
So I rode away from the maiden,
B
but I knew I'd always care
Em
I knew as poor as I was,
B
Em
love didn't stand a prayer
D
G
I was on the trail from Santa Fe
D
G
to old Mexico
When suddenly the sky grew dark
D
G
Em
and the prairie winds grew cold
A bolt of lightning crashed
Am
and I fell a fury near
Em
And from the flames there
rode a man
B
Em
who filled my heart with fear
D
G
His eyes were flashing fire
D
G
Em
and he rode straight from hell
Am
Em
His boots were black and shiny,
B
his horse was blacker still
Em
And on his face he wore a smile
B
Em
B
Em
D
that caused my heart to chill
G
His words were full of promises
D
G
of things that he would give
If only I'd renounce the Lord
D
G
Em
and give my soul to him
Am
Em
My eyes were filled with riches
Am
Em
and the girl that I longed for
Guns placed forth to bind the deal
B
Em
and his words became the law
D
G
I killed and stole and robbed for gold
D
G
and sold and stole to ghosts
And always in the shadows
D
G
Em
stood the devil, El Diablo
Am
Em
And soon I had enough of gold
B
Em
for the one that I loved so
Then appeared the one I loved
B
Em
D
by the side of El Diablo
G
His evil laughter haunts me
D
G
and now it's plain to see
That soon I'll pay the devil's dues
D
G
Em
for all eternity
They built the Gallows High
Am
Em
for all the town to see
And beneath the door I'm standing,
B
Em
El Di ablo waits for me
Beneath the door I'm standing,
B
Em
El Di ablo waits for me.
