New Mexico Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It was out in old
West
Texas in the [G]spring of 83
[C]That a [F]fancy cow drover came
a -steppin' up to [C]me
Sayin', [F]how do you do, young fella,
and how'd you like to go
[C]And spend one summer
drivin' on the [G]trail to
New
Mexico
[C]Now I wasn't workin' so
to the [G]drover I did [C]say
But [F]goin' out to
New
Mexico depends upon the [C]pay
If [F]you'll pay me good wages
and a horse and a saddle too
[C]I think, I will go with you and
[G]stay the summer [C]through
[Ab]My p[Db]leasures all ended and
my [Ab]troubles soon began
[Db]The firs[Gb]t arm that hit us when the cattle,
oh, they [Db]ran
[Gb]While running through thorned stickers
there was something we didn't know
[Db]The
Indians were watching us
from the [Ab]hills of
[Db]Mexico[A]
The
[D]Indians rustled the cattle, and the [A]drover,
well, he didn't [D]pay
[G]Before we knew what happened,
he'd get up and rode [D]away
So go [G]home to your wives and children,
boys, tell others not to [D]go
To that forsaken country they [A]call
New
Mexico
[D]To that forsaken country they [A]call
New
Mexico
[D]To that forsaken country they [A]call
New
Mexico
[D]To that forsaken country...
