[Intro]
| G | Em | D |
[Verse 1]
G Em D G
And I dream in the mornin' that she brings me water
A7 D
And I dream in the evenin' that she brings me wine
D7 G C G
Just a poor man's daughter in Puerto Penasco
D D7 G
South of the border in old Mexico
[Verse 2]
Em D G
There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali
A7
And if you don't got water,
D
well you better not go
D7 G C G
Tequila won't get you across that desert
D D7 G
To Evangelina in old Mexico
[Chorus]
D/F# Bm C
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me
G
insane
D D7 G
Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there
Bm C
God only knows that I wracked my brain to try to find the
way
G D D7 G
To reach that woman in old Mexico
[Verse 3]
Em D G Em
And I met a kind man,
D G
he guarded the border
A7
He said "You don't need papers,
I'll let you go
D
D7 G C G
I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes now
D D7 G
She's the rose of the desert of old Mexico"
[Chorus]

To reach that woman in old Mexico
