  27 Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
  28                        G   D
  29 Dust on my face and my cape,
  30                         A
  31 Me and Magdalena on the run

  33 I think this time we shall escape.

  36 Sold my guitar to the baker's son
  37 For a few crumbs and a place to hide,
  38 But I can get another one
  39 And I'll play for Magdalena as we ride.

  58 Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people
  59 Hoofbeats like castanets on stone.
  60 At night I dream of bells in the village steeple
  61 Then I see the bloody face of Ramon.
  62
  63 Was it me that shot him down in the cantina
  64 Was it my hand that held the gun?
  65 Come, let us fly, my Magdalena
  66 The dogs are barking and what's done is done.

  79 At the corrida we'll sit in the shade
  80 And watch the young torero stand alone.
  81 We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed
  82 When they rode with Villa into Torre6n.
  83
  84 Then the padre will recite the prayers of old
  85 In the little church this side of town.
  86 I will wear new boots and an earring of gold
  87 You'll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown.
  88
  89 The way is long but the end is near
  90 Already the fiesta has begun.
  91 The face of God will appear
  92 With His serpent eyes of obsidian.

 105 Was that the thunder that I heard?
 106 My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain.
 107 Come sit by me, don't say a word
 108 Oh, can it be that I am slain?
 109
 110 Quick, Magdalena, take my gun
 111 Look up in the hills, that flash of light.
 112 Aim well my little one
 113 We may not make it through the night.
