[Intro]
A - E A - E
[Verse]
E F#m
Carlos Saragosa left his home in Casas Grandes when the moon was full
B E
He had no money in his pocket, just a locket of his sister framed in Gold
E F#m
He headed for el Sueco, stole a rooster named Gallo Del Cielo
B A B E
Then he crossed the Rio Grande with that rooster nestled deep within his arm
E F#m
Gallo del Cielo was a warrior born in heaven so the legends say
B E
His wings they had been broken, he had one eye rollin crazy in his head
E F#m
He'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say that one night near El Sueco
B A B E
He fought Cielo seven times, seven times he left brave roosters dead
[Chorus]
A E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San Antonio
F#m E
I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picture framed in gold
A E
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
F#m A B E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago
[Verse]
E F#m
Outside of San Diego in the Onion fields of Paco Monte Verde
B E
The Pride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk
E F#m
And they laughed when Saragosa pulled the one-eyed Del Cielo from beneath his shirt
B A B E
But they cried when Saragosa waked away with a thousand dollar bill
[Chorus]
A E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa Barbara
F#m E
I have 1,500 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picture framed in gold
A E
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
F#m A B E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago
[Verse]
E
Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern light spills shadows on the
F#m
fighting sand
B E
A wicked black named Zorro paces Del Cielo into the night
E F#m
And Carlos Saragosa fears the tiny crack that runs across his roosters beak
B A B E
And he fears that he has lost the 50,000 dollars riding on the fight
[Chorus]
A E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa Clara
F#m E
The money's on the table, I'm holding now your good luck framed in gold
A E
Everything we dream of is riding on the spurs of Del Cielo
F#m A B E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago
[Verse]
E F#m
The signal it was given and the roosters rose together far above the sand
B E
Gallo Del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny breast
E F#m
They were separated quickly but they rose and fought each other 37 times again
B A B E
And the legends all agreed that Gallo Del Cielo he fought the best
E F#m
Now the cries of Saragosa filled the night outside the town of Santa Clara
B E
As the beak of Del Cielo lay broken like a shell within his hand
E F#m
And they say that Saragosa screamed a curse upon the bones of Pancho Villa
B A B E
As Zorro rose up one more time and drove Del Cielo in the sand
[Chorus/Outro]
A E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San Francisco
F#m E
I have no money in my pocket I no longer have your good luck framed in gold
A E
I buried it last evening with the bones of my beloved Del Cielo
F#m A B E
I will not return to buy the land that Villa stole long ago
A E
Do the rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved Casas Grandes?
F#m
Does the scar upon my brother's face turn red when he hears mention of my
E
name?
A E
And do the people of El Sueco still curse the theft of Gallo Del Cielo?
F#m A B E
Tell my family not to worry, I will not return to cause them shame.
