Riders in the Sky - Compadres In The Old Sierra Madre guitar chord

Compadres in the old Sierra Madre

Woody Paul

Em C7

There is a place I know way down in Mexico

Am B7 Em C7/B7

High in the old Sierra Madre

Em C7

Where many an outlaw band from across the Rio Grande

Am B7 Em

Have found a haven, a holdout, a hideaway

Am7 D7 G

Cmaj7

But danger rides with those who stray upon their secret hideaway

Am(6) D7 Em / C7 / B7 (one beat apiece)

Where death is sure to welcome anyone within the law

Em C7

But if a man must run from any lawman's gun

Am B7 Em

He'll find compadres in the old Sierra Madre

Em C7

Deep in the dark of night, beside the campfire's light,

Am Am B7 Em C7/B7

They weave the tales of the lies, of the bandits.

Em C7

Of jewels rare and old, of coaches filled with gold,

Am B7 Em

Holdups pulled off like they planned it.

Am7 D7 G

Cmaj7

But danger rides with those who stray upon their secret hideaway

Am(6) D7 Em / C7 / B7 (one beat apiece)

Where death is sure to welcome anyone within the law

Em C7

But if a man must run from any lawman's gun

Am B7 Em

He'll find compadres in the old Sierra Madre
