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
