    [Verse 1]
C                                         F             C
I don't take the paper, and I don't watch TV
C                                         Am7
I was out on the road when the word got to me
F                                                C
Well goddamn the text, couldn't I just have gone blind
F                                               C
And heard your voice in my ear like I did in my mind
 
[Chorus]
F     C
Mira vaquero
F        C
Se pone el sol
F        C
Buen caballero
C            Am7
Viajando con Dios
F         C
Mira vaquero
 F            C
No miramos atras
 F            C
Nos vamos al campo
C        Am           F
Una vez mas, una vez mas
 
[Verse 2]
C                    C               F              C
Your chaps are still dusty from the late summer's drouth
C                    C                     Am
When the cedar turn rusty it's time to go south
F                      F                      C
When your time is upon you, you don't always know
C                 C           F
"Brinca la vida," Abuela nos dijo
C                                 Am
"Brinca la vida," we learned long ago
 
[Chorus]
 
F         C

Se pone el sol

Mira vaquero
 F            C
No miramos atras
 F            C
Nos vamos al campo
C        Am           F
Una vez mas, una vez mas
 
[Verse 3]
C                C                  C
So pour out the coffee, piss on the fire
C                     C                         Am
I hear hounds in the distance, it's down to the wire
F                                      C
Make for the cow camp, we might have a chance
C                                       Am
Vamonos por el campo, en el campo we'll dance
C                                       Am
Vamonos por el campo, en el campo we'll dance
