D5 I remember the palm trees swaying D5 Across the river the sweet music playing A5 Down on the Rio Grande D5 Out on the levee with the full moon above me D5 My Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me A5 Down on the Rio Grande E5 Laughing, singing, in the warm night air D5 Loving that woman with the raven hair we were A5 Down on the Rio Grande D5 Strolling with my lover hand in hand B5 Oh I'd give anything to be E5 A5 Down on the Rio Grande Endless highways and wide open spaces Children smile with their sunburnt faces Down on the Rio Grande All the love that my lady was giving Was the sweetest part of living Down on the Rio Grande And if these memories could take me there I'd be loving that woman with the raven hair, I'd be Chorus Twice
