San Miguel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Down by the mission
San [G]Miguel is a [Am]great house
Wherein dwell Don Carlos
And La Dona Maria Elen[G]a C[Em]antrell
[Am]

[Verse 2]
I work [C]at the ranch, I saddle her mare
I ride with the gun behind as she
visits her friends here and [Am]there
She says, ?Thank you,
Manuel? or ?Manuel, poor favor?
Or ?Good evening, Manuel,
La Dona Maria [Em]Elena Cantrell?
[Am]

[Verse 3]
I dream of the [Em]mission [Am]San M[C]iguel[Am][G]
[Em]And [Am]it says to me, the mission bell
?She is married, Manuel,
the wife of the rancher
Don [Em]Carlos Cantrell?
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]You serve at the ranch,
you hold her chair
You carry her boxes, trunks, letters,
and books here and [Am]there
She says, ?Thank you, Manuel?
or ?Manuel, poor favor?
Or ?Good evening, Manuel,
La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell?
But I [Dm]hear with my

[Verse 5]
[Am]heart
What she [Dm]says with her [Am]eyes with
?Good evening,
Manuel? or ?Manuel, poor favor?
Or ?The carriage,
Manuel? or ?Manuel, close the door?
