A5 
This is my third night 
 
Under bright shooting stars 
D5                   A5 
I have crossed into Mexico 
                       E5 
Maybe that's where you are 
D5                 A5 
You told me you'd come here 
                   D5 
If our love should end 
                      A5 
Eighty miles past the border 
       E5       A5 
On the Mexican wind 
A5 
So I followed the dusty roads 
 
Into Flores Magon 
D5                     A5 
And they said you had left there 
            E5 
For Aquiles Serdan 
    D5             A5 
You told me you'd come here 
                   D5 
If our love should end 
                      A5 
Eighty miles past the border 
       E5       A5 
On the Mexican wind 
D5 
There's a place in the desert 
                A5 
Where we let it begin 
D5 
We would dance close together 
                     A5 
As the candles would dim 
           D5 
In a quiet cantina 
                A5 
With sweet mandolins 
                   B5 
As they'd serenade softly 
E5              A5  
On the Mexican wind 
 
SOLO 
 

A5 
My life seems to slow down 
 
The further I go 
D5        A5 
Into the bare heart 
          E5 
Of old Mexico 
              D5                 A5 
Still I keep searching for someone 
                D5 
Who once let me in 
              A5 
But somehow I lost him 
       E5       A5 
To the Mexican wind 
D5 
There's a place in the desert 
                A5 
Where we let it begin 
D5 
We would dance close together 
                     A5 
As the candles would dim 
           D5 
In a quiet cantina 
                A5 
With sweet mandolins 
                   B5 
As they'd serenade softly 
E5              F#5  D5 
On the Mexican wind 
                      D5 
Eighty miles past the border 
       E5       A5 
on the Mexican wind
