[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
Never had much [G]to say,
he traveled [Bm]alone with no [G]friends
Like a shadowy ghost at dawn
[Bm]he came and he went
[G]Through the woodland swi[A]ftly gliding,
[F#m]to the young maid he cam[Bm]e gliding[Em]
Where she'd run to meet him,
by [A]the garden [D]wall[A]

[Verse 2]
Oh my sweet [Bm]Miguel, I will never [D]tell
No one will ever [Bm]know,
what I know too [D]well
And he'd smile and [G]lay his head on [D]her breast
and [G]he'd say I have no [D]fear
They're [G]waiting for me to cross the border,
[A]to swim the river

[Verse 3]
'Cause [D]I've done that be[G]fore
[A]To see my true loves [Bm]smiling face
A [E]hundred times [A]or more
[G]Oh my [D]sweet Miguel she [G]cried
I'll [A]love you till [D]I die

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Bm][G][Bm]
[G]

[Verse 4]
He was born to [G]the south in
Mex[Bm]ico they [G]say
The child of a man who
[Bm]had soon gone [G]away
But his mother [A]loved him [F#m]dearly
and she would [Bm]take him [Em]yearly
To the great Cathedral in St. Au[A]gustine
[D]

[Verse 5]
[A]Oh my young Mig[Bm]uel, listen to the[D] bell
Of my [Bm]poverty you must never [D]tell
And he cried him[G]self to sleep in [D]the night
And he [G]vowed to make things [D]right
So [G]he took the gun down from
the wall and [A]he paid a call

[Verse 6]
He [D]knew she'd under[G]stand
[A]A lawman came to cap[Bm]ture him
[E]The gun jumped in his [A]hand
[G]Oh [D]Miguel the mother [G]cried
You must [A]run son or you'll
[D]die

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][Bm][G][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[G]So the story is told of his true
[Bm]love cross the [G]line
As strong as the oak and
[Bm]as sweet as the [G]vine
And [A]the child she bore him,
[F#m]came on the fa[Bm]teful mornin[Em]'
When they sent [E]him to his fi[A]nal rest

[Verse 8]
Oh my sweet [Bm]Miguel listen to the [D]bell
No one will ever [Bm]know,
of what I know too [D]well
Then she'd smile and [G]lay
the child on [D]her breast
And she'd [G]say I have no [D]fear
I'm [G]waiting for you to cross the border,
[A]to swim the river

[Verse 9]
'Cause [D]you've done that be[G]fore
To [A]see your true loves [Bm]smiling face
A [E]hundred times [A]or more
[G]Oh my [D]sweet Miguel she [G]cried
I'll [A]love you till I [D]die
[A][G][D]
