Goodnight Juarez Chords

(ver. 1)
Tom Russell
[Intro]
G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G
 
[Verse]
                   C              G
Juarez, I couldn't sleep tonight
                    D
Juarez, you made me weep tonight
           G                      C
Across the Rio Grande, I saw your poverty lights
    G         D        G      C  G  C  G
Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
 
[Verse]
                  C               G
Juarez, I used to paint the town
                              D
Now you've gone and turned it upside down
       G               C
Into a dark and bloody battleground
    G         D        G      C
Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
 
[Verse]
                G              D
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows
                         G
Just caught the last bus out
    C                            G
She said, "Seven sorrows used to fit the bill
        Am       Em       D     C
But I'd need ten thousand now"
 
[Verse]
C
The mariachi horns are silent
       Bm                       Am
The guitars don't make a sound
 
The children have all disappeared
           D                   G
Or they're hiding underground
 
[Verse]
                     C          G
The tourist market's empty now
                  D
You wouldn't recognize this town
          G             C
Why, they even tore the bull ring down
    G         D        G
Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
 
[Instrumental]
G   C   G   D   G   C   G D G   C
 
[Verse]
                  G
Vuela, vuela, palomita
    D                       G      C
You ragged and torn Dove of Peace
                G
Fly across this burning desert
          Am     Em    D      C
Where the bodies lie beneath
 
[Verse]
 
Bring me back one faded rose
  Bm                    Am
A sign of love and hope
 
And drop it down on this broken city
          D                     G
Before it all goes up in smoke
 
[Verse]
                C            G
Juarez, I had a dream today
                           D
The children danced as the guitars played
            G                C
And all the violence, up and slipped away
    G         D        G
Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
                           C
The children danced as the guitars played
    G         D        G      C  G  C  G
Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
