Rodriguez Johnny - Down On Rio Grande guitar tab

Down On The Rio Grande as recorded by Johnny Rodriguez

I remember the palm trees swaying

across the river the sweet music playing

down on the Rio Grande

Out on the levee with the full moon above me

my Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me

down on the Rio Grande

Laughing, singing, in the warm night air

loving that woman with the raven hair we were

down on the Rio Grande

strolling with my lover hand in hand

oh I'd give anything to be

down on the Rio Grande

(Instrument break)

Endless highways and wide open spaces

Children smile with their sunburnt faces

down on the Rio Grande

All the love that my lady was giving

was the sweetest part of living

down on the Rio Grande

And if these memories could take me there

I'd be loving that woman with the raven hair, I'd be

down on the Rio Grande

strolling with my lover hand in hand

Oh I'd give anything to be

down on the Rio Grande

down on the Rio Grande

strolling with my lover hand in hand

oh I'd give anything to be

down on the Rio Grande

(fade with that beautiful steel guitar)
