Compadres in the old Sierra Madre
Woody Paul 
           Em                        C7
There is a place I know way down in Mexico
Am          B7         Em     C7/B7
High in the old Sierra Madre
                Em                          C7
Where many an outlaw band from across the Rio Grande
          Am             B7       Em
Have found a haven, a holdout, a hideaway
     Am7              D7                G 
Cmaj7
But danger rides with those who stray upon their secret hideaway
   Am(6)               D7         Em / C7 / B7  (one beat apiece)
Where death is sure to welcome anyone within the law
        Em                       C7
But if a man must run from any lawman's gun
          Am                  B7        Em
He'll find compadres in the old Sierra Madre
            Em                         C7
Deep in the dark of night, beside the campfire's light,
Am             Am            B7            Em     C7/B7
They weave the tales of the lies, of the bandits.
           Em                       C7
Of jewels rare and old, of coaches filled with gold,
    Am         B7             Em
Holdups pulled off like they planned it.
     Am7              D7                G

Where death is sure to welcome anyone within the law
        Em                       C7
But if a man must run from any lawman's gun
          Am                  B7        Em
