A                        Bm 
My name is Del Gato born close to the border 
   D                           A 
Of white blood and red blood I came 
A                      Bm 
I travel  the saddle I follow the cattle 
D                               A 
Down on the range    where they graze 
       E                   D                   A 
And I just ride  in from a hard south western drive 
   E 
My lips  parched and bloodied 
    D                              A 
My  face  torn by sand storms and pride 
                          Bm 
Loyality     riches  and inner bred ditches   ??? 
        D                      A 
Was the brew that I drank as a child 
A 
So rebellios a lover 
    Bm 
Don Juan as a my cover 
      D                           A 
They  die cast my type  called me wild    ??? 
A     E                   D                   A 
And I just ride in from a hard  southwestern drive 
    E               D                     A 
The hanging tree is waiting for me to arrive 
 
SOLO 
 
A                        Bm 
Structured political our children they ridiculed 
D                              A 
They teach them of sins and to lie 
A                                    Bm 
Their schools buildt by fools but by breaking the rules 
       D                      A 
Like A fox I am forced now to hide 
      E                   A                  A 
And I just ride in from a hard south western drive 
   E 
My lips  parched and bloodied 
    D                              A 
My  face  torn by sand storms and pride 
A                          Bm  
Pepper tree spreads taking many mans heads     ???? 
        D                           A       
But the one they would want most is mine  
 
To the mission I go i 
   Bm 
In San Juan  and I kneel 
      D                       A 
And I pray for the love of my life 
      E                   A                  A 
And I just ride in from a hard south western drive 
   E 
My lips  parched and bloodied 
    D                              A 
My  face  torn by sand storms and pride
