Robert Earl Keen - Gringo Honeymoon Chords

[Verse 1]
D                                  Em
We were standing on a mountain top
G
Where the cactus flowers grow
D                       Em
I was wishing that the world would stop
G
When you said "We'd better go"
D                             Em
We took a row boat across the Rio Grande
G                      D
Captain Pablo was our guide
                     C
For two dollars in a weathered hand
G                             D
He rowed us to the other side


[Chorus 1]
A
We were dreaming like
Bm
The end was not in sight
G                            D
And we dreamed all afternoon
A
We asked the world to wait
Bm
So we could celebrate
G
A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 2]
D                             Em
We stepped out onto the golden sand
G                                D
The sun was high and burning down
D                       Em
Rented donkeys from an old blind man
G                           D
Saddled up and rode to town
D                      Em
Tied our donkeys to an Ironwood tree
G                                 D
By the stream where children play
D                          C
We went in the first place we could see
G                              D
Serving cold beer in the shade


[Chorus 2]
A
We were drinking like
Bm
The end was not in sight
G                       D
And we drank all afternoon
A
We asked the world to wait
Bm
So we could celebrate
G
A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 3]
D                            Em
Met a cowboy who said that he
G                         D
Was running from the D.E.A
D                                Em
He left his home, wife, and family
G                        D
When he made his get away
D                                      Em
We'd followed him on down a street of dust
G                               D
To his run-down, one-room shack
D                            C
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us
G                       D
"I ain't never goin' back"


[Chorus 3]
A
We were flying like
Bm
The end was not in sight
G                           D
And we [sold/saw it?] that afternoon
A
We asked the world to wait
Bm
So we could celebrate
G
A gringo honeymoon

[Verse 4]
D                                    Em
He said "There's one last place that you should go"
G                              D
He took us to the town's best bar
D                     Em
He knew a crusty caballero
G                                  D
Who played an old gut-string guitar
D                        Em
And he sang like Marty Robbins could
G                     D
Played like no one I've known
D                         C
For a while we knew that life was good
G
It was ours to take back home


[Chorus 2]
A
We were singing like
Bm
The end was not in sight
G                    D
And we sang all afternoon
A
We asked the world to wait
Bm
So we could celebrate
G
A gringo honeymoon

[Outro]
D                      Em
We were standing on a mountain top
G                           D
Where the cactus flowers grow
D                       Em
I was wishing that the world would stop
G                           D
When you said we'd better go
