Clear Isabel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Isabel and her brown skin shined like
a sapphire in the summer [F]sun
The pride and [C]joy of a Mexican
lawman who lived by [G]the gun
He [Am]got cross ways with the cartel
they shot down his only son [F]Jose
So [C]in fear of his daughter's life he packed
their bags and late [G]one night she heard him say

[Verse 2]
[G]
I [F]hear the grass is greener just beyond
that Laredo border [Am]line
They say [G]freedom is much sweeter than
sweet blood red sangri[Am]a wine
[G]South [F]Texas looks like heaven when
you're down here in this liv[Am]ing hell
So [G]come on let's cross that Rio,
the coast is clear Isa[F]bel
The coast is clear Isabel
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]They cam[Am]e across our homestead tired and hungry,
cold and moving [F]slow
We had [C]fence to build a warm place
to stay and they had nowhere [G]to go
So I worked [Am]cattle with her father we were
stretching wire and driving post [F]all day
While [C]Isabel worked with my mother and late at night
I held her tight [G]and she'd take my breath away

[Verse 4]
[G]
I [F]hear the grass is greener just beyond
that Laredo border [Am]line
They say [G]freedom is much sweeter than sweet
blood red sangri[Am]a wine
[G]South [F]Texas looks like heaven when
you're down here in this liv[Am]ing hell
So [G]come on let's cross that Rio,
the coast is clear Isa[F]bel
The coast is clear Isa
[Am]bel

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][F][E]

[Verse 5]
The sheriff [Am]came across her father they treated
him like an outlaw on [F]the run
[Am]And Isab[F]el n[G]ow wears[C] my diamond and
that little boy she holds is [G]my son
We got a green [Am]card for her father Mariano
but it came two years [F]too late
We got [C]word that he'd been gunned down
in a border town shot in [G]the back
The last thing they heard him say

[Verse 6]
I [F]hear the grass is greener just beyond
that Laredo border [Am]line
And they say that [G]freedom is much sweeter
than sweet blood red sangri[Am]a wine
[G]South [F]Texas looks like heaven when
you're down here in this liv[Am]ing hell
So come [G]on let's cross that Rio,
the coast is clear Isa[F]bel[G]
[F]The coast is clear Isabel
The coast is clear [Am]Isa bel
Clear Isabel
Clear Isabel
