Chorus
(G) My heart is in Rosa Rio
under the Argentine (D7) skies
There with a beautiful lady
with her dark and sparkling (G) eyes
My heart is in Rosa Rio
your sentimental eye (D7) aye
There with a beautiful lady
that I love the day that I (G) die (C) aye aye (G) aye aye
(G) Her parents were rich Estanciaros
and I was just one of the (D7) hands
Who herded their ten thousand cattle
on their ten thousand acres of (G) land
But I was a very poor cowboy
and we lived in worlds far (D7) apart
So how could I tell her I loved her
or speak of the love in my (G) heart
(G) The lady I loved never loved me
the lady I loved never (D7) knew
The day that she married another
a poor cowboy's heart broke in (G) two
I know that she'll never miss me
or notice that I'm even (D7) gone
The cowboy who saddled her pony
now rides through the dark night (G) alone
