Before I Leave Mexico

E D Skirtin' 'round the edge of town A To Keep from being seen E D There's men lookin' for me A They won't let it be E D I Won't run from any man A E D But I've got a long way to go E I need to see maria D E A Before I leave mexico E D Before I leave mexico A I have ot make amends E D I don't care how many men A Her daddy sends E D They say I killed her brothers A D An Argument I cannot win E I need to see Maria D E A Before I see Texas again E D Stayin' in the shadows A Cast by the moonlight E D If I can make it to her arms A I know I can make it right E D I need to prove my innocence A D I've heard that she knows E I need to talk to Maria D E A Before I leave Mexico E D I step out of the shadows A Three feet from her back door E D Feel the bullet pierce deep in my chest A I know it's hell for sure E D CHoking on my last breath A D I whisper soft and low E Tell Maria I didn't k**l her brothers D E A Before I leave this world D E I didn't see Maria D E A And I'll never see Texas again
