JIMMY MARTINEZ
D
The story began in Renosa
Ebdim A7
A village in old Mexico
A girl and a Mexican soldier
D
Were sweethearts, a long time ago
They made big plans for a wedding
Ebdim A7
The town of Renosa would go
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
D
Married to Sarah Sero
A7 D
Ohh ohh ohh
D
One day there came a message
Ebdim A7
It said that Jimmy must go
As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
D
To fight at the Alamo
He never returned to Renosa
Ebdim A7
The story's been told and retold
How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
D
Died at the Alamo
A7 D
Ohh- Ohh ohh
D
Jimmy's last letter to Sarah
Ebdim A7
Began with a message like this
Oh dear one, how sweet is the memory
D
The memory of our parting kiss
I send my heart in this letter
Ebdim A7
I pray to the one up above
Oh Sarah, don't ever forget me
D
Stay just as pure as the dove
A7 D
Ohh ohh ohh
D
I'm like the dove in your window
Ebdim A7
It's chosen just one mate for life
And you are the one I have chosen
D
The one that I want for my wife
He never returned to Renosa
Ebdim A7
The story's been told and retold
How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
D
Died at the Alamo
A7 D
Ohh ohh ohh
D
Sarah refused to believe them
Ebdim A7
She prayed for Jimmy's return
And there ever night in her window
D
A small little candle would burn
Years turned her dark hair to silver
Ebdim A7
She prayed for Jimmy so long
Then one night the village was saddened
D
The light in her window was gone
A7 D
Ohh ohh ohh
