Transpose:
I don't use bar chords for this, for Bm I like the 003321 (capo III). I wrote this out 
to have
the whole song w/ lyrics, the chords are the same as anybody. Don't worry about being on 
the beat with your singing,
it works well with this style of music.

"Gringo Honeymoon"

Capo III

Intro
Asus, A, Asus, A

A BmWe were standing on a mountain top
D AWhere the cactus flowers grow
A BmI was wishing that the world would stop,
D AWhen you said we'd better go.
A BmWe took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande,
D ACaptain Pablo was our guide.
A GFor two dollars in a weathered hand
D AHe rowed us to the other side.
EAnd we were dreamin' like
F#mThe end was not in sight
D AAnd we dreamed all afternoon.
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mSo we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, Aa Gringo Honeymoon
A BmWe stepped out onto the golden sand
D AThe sun was high and burning down
A BmRented donkeys from an old blind man
D ASaddled up and rode to town
A BmTied our donkeys to an ironwood tree
D ABy the street where the children play
A GWe walked in the first place we could see
D AServin' cold beer in the shade
EWe were drinkin' like
F#mthe end was not in sight
D AAnd we drank all afternoon
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mso we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, AA gringo honeymoon
A BmMet a cowboy who said that he
D AWas running from the DEA
A BmHe left a home, a wife, a family
D AWhen he made his getaway
A BmWe followed him on down a street of dust
D ATo his one room run-down shack
A GHe blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us
D AI ain't never goin' back
EWe were flyin' like
F#mthe end was not in sight
D AAnd we soared all afternoon
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mso we could celebrate
D (ring) Asus, A, Asus, AA gringo honeymoon
A BmHe said there's one last place that you should go
D AHe took us to the town's best bar
A BmHe knew a crusty caballero
D AWho played an old gut string guitar
A BmAnd he sang like Marty Robbins could
D APlayed like no one I've known
A GFor a while we knew that life was good
D AIt was ours to take back home
EWe were singin' like
F#mthe end was not in sight
D AAnd we sang all afternoon
EWe asked the world to wait
F#mso we could celebrate
D (ring) AA gringo honeymoon
A (spoken) BmWe were standin' on a mountain top
D AWhere the cactus flowers grow
A BmI was wishin' that the world would stop
D DWhen you said...
Asus, A, Asus, A (outro)we'd better go
