'Cross the Brazos at Waco' by Billy Walker - Guitar Tutorial

             C  
On the Chisolm Trail it was midnight 
                            G7  
Carmella was strong on his mind 
Because of the life he had chosen 
                         C  
Carmella had left him behind 
  
Too long he had been El Bandito 
              C7         F  
Carmella had left him alone 
                             C  
But today someone brought a message 
         G7                       C  
She had been seen in old San Antone 
 
 F  
Cross the Brazos at Waco 
Ride hard and I'll make it by dawn 
 C  
Cross the Brazos at Waco 
     G7                      C  
I'm safe when I reach San Antone 
          G7                       C  
tag: I'm safe when I reach San Antone 
  
He glanced back over his shoulder 
                          G7  
The posse was nowhere in sight 
He'd sent for Carmella to meet him 
                              C  
On the banks of the Brazos tonight 
  
She was waiting and he kept the promise 
                  C7        F  
He'd made such a long time ago 
                                C  
As he dropped the guns that she hated 
        G7             C  
In the muddy Brazos below 
  
Repeat #3 
 
Then the night came alive with gunfire 
                                G7  
He knew that at last he'd been found 
As the Rangers badge shone brightly 
                       C  
El Bandito lay on the ground 
  
Carmella knew he was dying 
                        C7        F  
That all of her dreams were in vain 
                                     C  
As she kissed his lips for the last time 
               G7        C  
She heard him whisper again 
  
Repeat #3
