.........C
I've been in this town so long that back in the city
..............................................................................................D7
I've been taken for lost and gone and unknown for a long long time
.............G7
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl
...........................................................................................................C
From the Spanish and Indian home home of the heroes and villains

C
Once at night Cotillian squared the fight
............................................................................................................D7
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
......G7
But she's still dancing in the night
........................................................................................................C......C#dim.....G7/D
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

F......................F/C................C/B....................D7/A
In the cantina Margarita's keep the spirit high
Dm7..............................G7...................................C7
There I watched her, she spun around and round in the warmth
........F6/A.......................G7...................F
Her body fanned the flame of the dance
......................F/C.....................................C/B........D7/A
Dance Margarita don't you know that I love you
Dm7.......G7
Dance, dance, you're under arrest!

..........C....................Dm7................................C/E...........F
My children were raised you know they suddenly rise
........................C/G..............F...................C/E................Dm7..............D7
They started slow long ago, head to toe healthy wealthy and often wise

......G7
At three score and five I'm very much alive
.......................................................................................C
I still got the jive to survive with the heroes and villains
