 Subject: Gringo Honeymoon by Robert Earl Keen
 Intro: G D G DÊÊÊ
 D                                 EmÊÊ
 We were standing on a mountain top
 G                                    D
 Where the cactus flowers grow
 D                              EmÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ
 I was wishing that the world would stop
 G                                     D
 When you said we'd better go
 
 
 D                                     Em
 We took a rowboat across the Rio Grande
 G                                D
 Captain Pablo was our guide
 D                              Em
 For two dollars and a weathered hand
 G                                   DÊÊÊ
 He rowed us to the other side
 
 
 A
 And we were dreamin like
 Bm
 the end was not in site
 G                            DÊ
 And we dreamed all afternoon
 A
 We asked the world to wait
 Bm                             G(strum slowly)
 So we could celebrate
 G                                  DGD
 A gringo honeymoon
 
 We stepped out on to the golden sand
 The sun was high and burning down
 Rented donkeys from and old blind man
 Saddled up and rode to town
 
 Tied the donkeys to an iron wood tree
 On the street where children played
 We went in the first place we could see
 Servin cold beer in the shade
 
 And we were drinkin like
 The end was not in site
 And we drank all afternoon
 We asked the world to wait
 So we could celebrate
 A gringo honeymoon
 
 Met a cowboy who said that he
 Was running from the DEA
 He left his home and wife and family
 When he made his getaway
 
 We followed him on down a street of dust
 To his on room run down shack
 He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us
 I ain't never goin back
 
 And we were flyin like
 The end was not in site
 And we soared that afternoon
 We asked the world to wait
 So we could celebrate
 A gringo honeymoon
 
 He said there is one last place that you should go
 He took us to the towns best bar
 He knew a rusty caballero
 Who played an old gut string guitar
 
 And he sang like Marty Robbins could
 Played like no one I have known
 For a while we knew that life was good
 And it was ours to take back home
 
 And we were singing like
 The end was not in site
 And we sang all afternoon
 We asked the world to wait
 So we could celebrate
 A gringo honeymoon
 
 We were standing on a mountain top
 Where the cactus flowers grow
 I was wishing that the world would stop
 When you said we'd better go
