C G7
I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
I was running from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind
C
And the border meant freedom a new life romance
C7 F C G7
And that's why I thought I should go
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico
C G7
My first night in Juarez lost all the money I had
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
C
But I must keep on running it's too late to turn back
C7 F C G7
I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
Yeah and things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico
C G7
Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half-loaded with hay
C
Down through Durango Palima Palmira
C7 F C G7
Then in the Manzanio
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico
C G7
After one long siesta I came wide awake in the night
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight
C
My new-found companion one young senorita
C7 F C G7
Who offered a broken hello
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico
C G7
She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
For her Mexican husband she really had no great concern
C
Cause she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo
C7 F C G7
That's all I needed to know
Dm G7 Dm G7 C G7
Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico
C
Yeah she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo
C7 F C G7
That's all I needed to know ha ha
Dm G7 Dm G7 C
Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico

Classic Country Music Lyrics home | Merle Haggard lyrics
This is really a nice song, although the chords are very intimidating to most of us amateurs, this is a simplified version. Of course it would sound better using those orchestra chords, but I can't make them, so I have to improvise. Copy Seashores Of Old Mexico lyrics and chords and try them, maybe you can add a lick here and there to make it sound better.
