G
I remember the palm trees swaying
Across the river the sweet music playing
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
Out on the levee with the full moon above me
My Mexican lady Lord how she loved me
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
A7
Laughing singing in the warm night air
G
Loving that woman with the raven hair we were
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand
Em
Oh I'd give anything to be
A7 D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
Endless highways and wide open spaces
Children smile with their sun burnt faces
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
All the love that my lady was giving
Was the sweetest part of living
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
A7
And if these memories could take me there
G
I'd be loving my woman with the raven hair I'd be
D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand
Em
Oh I'd give anything to be
A7 D7
Down on the Rio Grande
G
Strolling with my lover hand in hand
Em
Oh I'd give anything to be
A7 D7
Down on the Rio Grande
