Down On The Rio Grande

	  		D 
I remember the palm trees swaying 
D 
Across the river the sweet music playing 
A 
Down on the Rio Grande 
D 
Out on the levee with the full moon above me 
D 
My Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me 
A 
Down on the Rio Grande 
E 
Laughing, singing, in the warm night air 
D 
Loving that woman with the raven hair we were 
 
A 
Down on the Rio Grande 
D 
Strolling with my lover hand in hand 
       Bm 
Oh I'd give anything to be  
E               A 
Down on the Rio Grande
 
 
 
Endless highways and wide open spaces 
Children smile with their sunburnt faces 
Down on the Rio Grande 
All the love that my lady was giving 
Was the sweetest part of living 
Down on the Rio Grande 
And if these memories could take me there 
I'd be loving that woman with the raven hair, I'd be
