[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]We were standin' on a mou[Am]ntain top
[C]Where the cactus flowers gro[G]w
I was wishin' that the [Am]world would stop
[C]When you said we'd better go[G]
We took a rowboat across the [Am]Rio Grande
[C]Captain Pablo was our gui[G]de
For two dollars in a weathered [F]hand
[C]He rowed us to the other sid[G]e

[Chorus 1]
[D]And we were dreamin' like
[Em]the end was not in sight
[C]And we dreamed all afternoo[G]n
[D]We asked the world to wait
[Em]so we could celebrate
[C]A gringo honeymoon

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]We stepped out onto the gol[Am]den sand
[C]The sun was high and burning dow[G]n
Rented donkeys from an [Am]old blind man
[C]Saddled up and rode to tow[G]n
Tied our donkeys to an [Am]ironwood tree
[C]By the street where childre[G]n play
We walked in the first [F]place we could see
[C]Servin' cold beer in the sha[G]de

[Chorus 2]
[D]We were drinkin' like
[Em]the end was not in sight
[C]And we drank all afternoo[G]n
[D]We asked the world to wait
[Em]so we could celebrate
[C]A gringo honeymoon

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Met a cowboy who sai[Am]d that he
[C]Was running from the DE A[G]
He left a home, a wife, [Am]and family
[C]When he made his getaway[G]
We followed him on down a street [Am]of dust
[C]To his run-down one- roo[G]m shack
He blew a smoke ring and he [F]smiled at us
[C]"I ain't never goin' bac[G]k"

[Chorus 3]
[D]We were flyin' like
[Em]the end was not in sight
[C]And we soared that afternoo[G]n
[D]We asked the world to wait
[Em]so we could celebrate
[C]A gringo honeymoon

[Interlude 3]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]He said there's one last place
[Am]that you should go
[C]He took us to the town's bes[G]t bar
He knew a crusty caballe[Am]ro
[C]Who played an old gut-string guitar[G]
And he sang like Marty Rob[Am]bins could
[C]Played like no one I'v[G]e known
For a while we knew that [F]life was good
[C]It was ours to take bac[G]k home

[Chorus 4]
[D]We were singin' like
[Em]the end was not in sight
[C]And we sang all afternoo[G]n
[D]We asked the world to wait
[Em]so we could celebrate
[C]A gringo honeymoon

[Interlude 4]

[Verse 5]
[G]We were standin' on a mou[Am]ntain top
[C]Where the cactus flowers gro[G]w
[G]I was wishin' that the wor[Am]ld would stop
[C]When you said we'd better go
[C][G][C][G]
