Brown Eyes Of Mexico

A  G  A  G  D  A  D

[Verse 1]

                                                 A
With my back to Laredo, facing the bridge I must cross
                                                           G                         D
And no way of knowing if the river was flowing between the longing and the innocence lost
                                                     Gm           F#m      Em
Drawn by the memory of the way that she held me that night up in ‘ol San Antone
    D                          A7                D
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

[Verse 2]

                                                   A
The Sky was on fire from the South Texas sun going down
                                                G                         D
Not much to go on, she said that she lived on a street in the old part of town
                                                   G            F#m     Em
As the shimmering lights of Nuevo Laredo fell like stars in the water below
   D                  A                 D
I set out to find the brown eyes of Mexico

[Chorus]

       G            D
Mi Corazon, my only one
    Bm                   F#m                     G                         A
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
                G   A                   D F# Bm G
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
          D                    A                 D
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

[Verse 3]

                                                   A7
Four days of searching cantinas and countless dead ends
                                                 G                      D
They knew Adrianna and said she was gone; like a wisp of perfume on the wind
                                              G           F#m          Em
But then in a bar called La Rosa De Muerte, a girl of the night said hello
D                           A                 D
I turned and there were the brown eyes of Mexico

[Chorus]

       G            D
Mi Corazon, my only one
    Bm                   F#m                     G                         A
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
                G   A                   D F# Bm G
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
          D                    A                 D
The first time I looked in the brown eyes of Mexico

[Verse 4]

   E                                                 B
We stood there in silence searching for something to say
                                                 A                      E
But I knew in my heart, nothing else mattered. I told her I’d take her away.
                                                             A               G#m       F#m
And the love in her eyes, like the first time I saw her; she said there’s no way I can go
    E                   B                 E
And tears fell from the brown eyes of Mexico

[Final Chorus]

       A            E
Mi Corazon, my only one
    C#m                  G#m                     A                         B
The taste of her kisses, warm like tequila still burned bitter sweet on my tongue
                A     B                 E G#m C#m A
She captured my heart, I surrendered my soul
     E                    B                 E
As I walked away from the brown eyes of Mexico
A      E                    B7                E
Ohhhhh I still dream of the brown eyes of Mexico
