Sonora's Death Row Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Me and the boy's we [Em]cinched
up our saddles and [C]rode to sonora [G]last night
Gun's hanging proud,
[Em]daring out loud for [C]any one looking [G]to fight
[C]Card cheats and [G]rustlers would run for their holes
when the [C]boys from the old [D]broken [Dsus4]O
[G]Rode up and reined on the[Em] street that they
[C]named Sonora's death [G]row
Mescal is free at Amanda's saloon for the boy's from the [Em]old broken O

[Verse 2]
Saturday
nights in the town of Sonora
are the best in all Mexico
They've got guitars and [C]trumpets and
sweet senoritas who won't want to let you go
You'd never believe such a gay happy time on
the street called Sonora's death row

[Verse 3]
Inside [G]Amanda's [Em]we was a dancin'
[C]with all of Amanda's [G]gals
I won some silver at [Em]sev en card stud
so [C]I was out doin' m[G]y pals
But the [C]whiskey and mescal,
[G]peso cigars [C]drove me outside for [Dsus4]some air[D]
[G]Somebody whispered [Em]"Your life or your money",
[C]I reached but my gun [G]wasn't [D]there

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][G][Em][C]
[G]I

[Verse 4]
woke up face down [Em]in Amanda's back
alley [C]aware of the fool I [G]had been
Rushed to my pony, [Em]grabbed my Winchester
and [C]entered Amanda's [G]again
Where [C]I saw my partners t[G]wirling my pistols
[C]and throwing my money [Dsus4]around[D]
[G]Blinded by [Em]anger, I jacked the lever [C]and one of them
fell to the [G]ground[Em][C][G][Em][C]
[G]Amanda's got silent like [Em]night in the desert,
my [C]friends stared in pure disbelief

[Verse 5]
[G]Amanda was kneeling besid[Em]e the dead
cowboy [C]plainly expressing [G]her grief
And as [C]I bowed my head [G]a trembled shot through
me my six- [C]gun was still at my [Dsus4]side[D]
I [G]felt my pockets, [Em]there was my money,
[C]I fell to my knees and I [G]cried[Em][G][C][G][Em][C]
[G]A nightmare of mescal is all[Em] that it was
[C]for no one had robbed me [G]at all
I wish I was dreaming [Em]the sound of
the gallows [C]they're testing just outside
The [G]wall

[Verse 6]
[C]The mescal's still free at Aman[G]da's saloon
for the [C]boy's from the old [D]Broken O
[G]I'd give a ransom to [Em]drink there today and be
[C]free of Sonora's death [G]row[Em][C]
[G]I'd give a ransom to [Em]drink there today and be fre[C]e of Sonora's death row[G]
