Romance In Durango Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun[A]
Dust on my face and my [G]cape[D]
Me and Magdalena on the [A]run
I think this time we shall es[G]cape[D]
Sold my guitar to the baker's [A]son
For a few crumbs and a place to [G]hide[D]
But I can get another [A]one
And I'll play for Magdalena as we [G]ride[D]

[Chorus 1]
No [A]Ilores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Du[G]ran[D]go
A[A]garrame, mi vida
Soon the desert will be gone
Soon you will be dancing the fan[G]dan[D]go

[Verse 2]
[D]Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts
of our [A]people
Hoofbeats like castanets on [G]stone[D]
At night I dream of bells in the village [A]steeple
Then I see the bloody face of Ra[G]mon[D]
Was it me that shot him down in the [A]cantina
Was it my hand that held the [G]gun?[D]
Come, let us fly, my Magda[A]lena
The dogs are barking and
what's done is [G]done[D]

[Chorus 2]
No [A]Ilores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Du[G]ran[D]go
A[A]garrame, mi vida
Soon the desert will be gone
Soon you will be dancing the fan[G]dan[D]go

[Verse 3]
[D]At the corrida we'll sit in the sha[A]de
And watch the young torero stand a[G]lone[D]
We'll drink tequila
where our grandfa[A]thers stayed
When they rode with Villa into Torre[G]on[D]
Then the padre will recite the prayers of [A]old
In the little church this side of [G]town[D]
I will wear new boots and an earring of [A]gold
You'll shine with diamonds
in your wedding [G]gown[D]
The way it is long but the end is [A]near
Already the fiesta has be[G]gun[D]
the face of God [A]will appear
With His serpent eyes of obsidi[G]an[D]

[Chorus 3]
No [A]Ilores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Du[G]ran[D]go
A[A]garrame, mi vida
Soon the desert will be gone
Soon you will be dancing the fan[G]dan[D]go

[Verse 4]
[D]Was that the thunder that I hea[A]rd?
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp [G]pain[D]
Come sit by me, don't say a [A]word
Oh, can it be that I am [G]slain?[D]
Quick, Magdalena, take my [A]gun
Look up in the hills, that flash of [G]light[D]
Aim well my little [A]one
We may not make it through the [G]night[D]

[Chorus 4]
No [A]Ilores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Du[G]ran[D]go
A[A]garrame, mi vida
Soon the desert will be gone
Soon you will be dancing the fan[G]dan[D]go

[Outro 1]
