Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
 I lost my mind ten years ago
 A Bm wanderin’ through the world
 Let’s C cut right to the quick
 I met D me a dark-eyed girl
 I was G living in El Paso with a Bm woman named Inez
 We’d Am stare out every evening
 At the C hills of old Jau D rez
  G Inez she’d had a grand daddy who’d Bm owned the dry good store
 He’d C climb up on his roof at night and watch D Pancho Villa’s war
 Jack G Pershing come with silver guns
 “For Bm Villa” Granddad said
 But Am Pancho he went underground in the C hills of old Jua D rez
 Those C rollin’ smoky D hills of old Jua G rez
 Those  god forsaken  hills
 They will Bm lure you to your C death
 Be Am ware the dusty D hills of old Jua Em rez
 “There’s G gold in them there hills”
 So said a Bm man with a broken tooth
 We could C run some cocaine powder
 Right on D by the custom’s booth
 I was G broke I needed money
 To Bm pacify Inez
 So I Am started doing business in the C hills of old Jau D rez
 The G adrenaline and blood boiled up
 Oh Bm man ain’t this a rush
 When you’re C running through the gunfire
 And the D Okatio brush
 My G partner was a Tiwa kid Bm straight off of the ‘res
 But he Am ratted me and disappeared in the C hills of old Jua D rez
 A G bullet in my back, a Bm bullet in my leg
  C Bullets flying by my ears they Am taught me how to pray
 I G prayed I’d reach the river bank where Bm I had left Inez
 But I Am fell through rock and prickly pear in the C hills of old Jua D rez
 Those C rolling smoky D hills of old Jua G rez
 Those  god forsaken  hills
 They will Bm lure you to your C death
 Be Am ware the dusty D hills of old Jua Em rez
 
 The G Narco Trafficante boys
 They Bm own the borderline
  C Fat cats up in Washington D **** and moan and whine
  G I’m in Huntsville Prison
 I’m Bm dreaming of Inez
 She’s Am waiting for me there in the C hills of old Jua D rez
 Those C rollin’ smoky D hills of old Jua G rez
 Those  god forsaken  hills
 They will Bm lure you to your C death
 Be Am ware the dusty D hills of old Jua Em rez
 Those Am god forsaken D hills of old Jua G rez
