E D
Skirtin' 'round the edge of town
A
To Keep from being seen
E D
There's men lookin' for me
A
They won't let it be
E D
I Won't run from any man
A E D
But I've got a long way to go
E
I need to see maria
D E A
Before I leave mexico
Chorus:
E D
Before I leave mexico
A
I have ot make amends
E D
I don't care how many men
A
Her daddy sends
E D
They say I killed her brothers
A D
An Argument I cannot win
E
I need to see Maria
D E A
Before I see Texas again
E D
Stayin' in the shadows
A
Cast by the moonlight
E D
If I can make it to her arms
A
I know I can make it right
E D
I need to prove my innocence
A D
I've heard that she knows
E
I need to talk to Maria
D E A
Before I leave Mexico
(Chorus)
E D
I step out of the shadows
A
Three feet from her back door
E D
Feel the bullet pierce deep in my chest
A
I know it's hell for sure
E D
CHoking on my last breath
A D
I whisper soft and low
E
Tell Maria I didn't kill her brothers
D E A
Before I leave this world
(Chorus)
D E
I didn't see Maria
D E A
And I'll never see Texas again
