             G          D                 Cadd9            D
1. Well I'm stuck in Saltillo, without a damn thing to do. 
 G              D                Cadd9        D
Serving three years, for what I haven't a clue.
          G          D           Cadd9             D
But I've got a keen eye and I'm quick with my hands...
   G                 D            Cadd9       G
Today I send these guards to the devils land.

2. She told me to go but I was already gone.
Tired of the life with just so many unknowns. 
Thought I'd be fine out there just me and I, 
but I decided her new man he just had to die.

3. Well now the Mexican girls they are just so sweet to me
I think I might just stick around for another three.
Now that I'm out these vaqueros sure prove tough,
I think I might just get liquored up.


chorus:
G             Em          C               G-Cadd9
I just thank God for the skill with a sharp knife,
     Em             C           G         G-Cadd9
and I am gratefull too for the gift of a good life
    Am
But I don't wanna be no muerto gringo
D               Cadd9-G
