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

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