[Intro]
G F C G
[Verse 1]
G F C
Beggin' your pardon there stranger
G
You look like you're new to this town
F C
We're a long way away from the beach here
G
You won't see many gringos around
F C
Well I come from West Colorado
G
And I've wandered this world far and wide
F C
I've lived for some years in the shadows
G
And my eyes are unused to this light
F C
If you buy me a strong drink of whiskey
G
I will tell you the tale of my life
F C
It's long and it's sad but it fits me
G
And it may bring a tear to your eye
[Verse 2]
G F C
All the men of my family were solidiers
G
The hard fightin' straight talkin' kind
F C
When my turn came all that was over
G
But I'd already made up my mind
F C
I was there when we blew though Grenada
G
And I still have to ask myself why
F C
Then we took down that fool Noriega
G
That's where I caught the good colonel's eye
F C
Well he asked me if I loved my country
G
And before I had time to reply
F C
He regaled me with tales of past glories
G
I believed every one of his lies
[Verse 3]
G F C
So I left my old life behind me
G
Turned my back on my family and friends
F C
And I did everything that they asked me
G
And I lost some sleep now and again
F C
And I lived like a thief and assassin
G
I smuggled their poisons sometimes
F C G
Until I asked the wrong question in passin'
[Verse 4]
G F C
And the colonel himself dropped the dime
G
So if you're ever in west Colorado
F C
Tell the folks in Durango goodbye
G
There's a price on my head and I can't go
F C G
So I'll just wait around here 'til I die
