Butch Hancock - Banks Of The Guadalupe guitar chord

(C)Down by the banks of the Guada-(Dm)lupe

On a summer's (G)evenin' halo'd (C)moon

Wide eyed as night owls naked as a (Dm)dream

We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream

We slept like time itself under diamond (Dm)skies

Far from the (G)bright lights and the city's (C)lies

Our love arose like a mornin' (Dm)dream

We were (G)washed in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream

Oh, the mountain (G)dreams of a blanket of (C)snow

And the wild wind (Dm)dreams of (G)directions it may (C)blow

But the river's dream is a dream of (Dm)love

And a dream of (G)deep reflections from (C)above

Down by the banks of the river of (Dm)change

We watched the (G)river runnin' from the wishes of the mountain (C)range

And the stars and the wild wind played the season's (Dm)themes

We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream

Oh, the mountain (G)dreams of a blanket of (C)snow

And the wild wind (Dm)dreams of (G)directions it may (C)blow

But the river's dream is a dream of (Dm)love

And a dream of (G)deep reflections from (C)above

(C)Down by the banks of the Guada-(Dm)lupe

On a summer's (G)evenin' halo'd (C)moon

Wide eyed as night owls naked as a (Dm)dream

We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream

Guadalupe pronounced as Gwa-da-loop Refers to a river through the hill country

north of San Antonio, Texas. Crosses the highway to Austin. Nice easy folk/country

ballad.

Jimmie Dale Gilmore also recorded it. It's also on a live album called Two Roads

by Butch and Jimmie recorded at the Brunswick Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia,

where they sing a couple of verses each. Grouse man.

I come from Melb, Aust, but I just love that Texican music. Afraid I don't like

their beer though. But I brew my own, so I don't care for Aussie swill either.

Gave up playing guitar soon after I first picked up a ukulele. Now I play

everything I ever did on the guitar and more.
