C5                  E5     F5                    C5 
He wore a six-shot pistol strapped against his side 
C5                 A5       F5              G5
A black full-bred stallion took him for a ride 
C5                         E5      F5                         C5
Across the creeks and the canyons of the southwest frontier land 
C5                 A5      F5     G5      C5
Jose, the Mexican outlaw, was a wanted man 
C5              E5             F5                     C5
He shot many a stranger as he traveled from town to town 
C5                     A5      F5                    G5
And killed all of the Rangers who ever tracked him down 
C5                 E5          F5                   C5
The wild-eyed bandito was the leader of an outlaw band 
C5                               A5       F5        G5   C5
That robbed the ranches and the railways near the Rio Grande 
C5                E5       F5                 C5
One sultry Texas evening, he climbed upon a train 
C5              A5   F5              G5
Northeast of Laredo in the pourin' rain 
C5               E5  F5                 C5
With a gray bandana flush against his face 
C5                     A5   F5          G5         C5
He met a blonde Texas lady dressed in satin and lace 
C5           E5     F5                     C5
This lovely maiden caught the stranger's eyes 
C5                 A5             F5                G5
So he grabbed her by the arm and took her for him prize 
C5                      E5                 F5              C5
There's nothin' like a blue-eyed girl and even an outlaw knows 
C5                      A5                  F5       G5      C5
That you can leave her far behind, but the feelin' always grows 
C5            E5                      F5               C5
If you don't make her you own at the moment that you can 
C5                  A5      F5              G5
She'll belong to a wealthy smooth talkin' man 
C5              E5          F5               C5
So he took her by his side with the outlaw band 
C5                  A5         F5        G5   C5
And she rode close beside him near the Rio Grande 
C5                            E5                  F5          C5
'Cause the Rio Grande is the kind of place where outaws get away 
C5                    A5            F5               G5
Stolen treasure is a way of life until their dyin' day 
C5                             E5                            F5              C5
They find their thrill in the things they steal and they're always on ther run 
C5                     A5         F5        G5        C5
And if they win their lady, they ride off into the sun 
C5                  E5     F5                    C5
He wore a six-shot pistol strapped against his side 
C5                 A5       F5              G5
A black full-bred stallion took him for a ride 
C5                         E5             F5                  C5
Across the creeks and the canyons of the southwest frontier land 
C5                 A5      F5     G5      C5
Jose, the Mexican outlaw, was a wanted man
