[Verse]
E                                                       F#m
Carlos Saragosa left his home in Casas Grandes when the moon was full
          B                                                          E
He had no money in his pocket, just a locket of his sister framed in Gold
   E                                                      F#m
He headed for el Sueco, stole a rooster named Gallo Del Cielo
        B                                A               B               E 
Then he crossed the Rio Grande with that rooster nestled deep within his arm
E                                                   F#m
Gallo del Cielo was a warrior born in heaven so the legends say
     B                                                              E
His wings they had been broken, he had one eye rollin crazy in his head
       E                                                                F#m
He'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say that one night near El Sueco 
    B                        A               B                   E
He fought Cielo seven times, seven times he left brave roosters dead

[Chorus]
A                                              E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San Antonio
       F#m                                                             E
I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picture framed in gold
  A                                                         E
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
           F#m                          A                B           E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

[Verse]
E                                                       F#m
Outside of San Diego in the Onion fields of Paco Monte Verde
     B                                                 E
The Pride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk
           E                                                       F#m
And they laughed when Saragosa pulled the one-eyed Del Cielo from beneath his shirt
          B                         A          B               E
But they cried when Saragosa waked away with a thousand dollar bill

[Chorus]
A                                              E 
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa Barbara
       F#m                                                             E
I have 1,500 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picture framed in gold
  A                                                         E
Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo
           F#m                          A                B           E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

[Verse]
         E                                                       
Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern light spills shadows on the 
  F#m
fighting sand
   B                                               E
A wicked black named Zorro paces Del Cielo into the night
     E                                                       F#m
And Carlos Saragosa fears the tiny crack that runs across his roosters beak
       B                             A           B             E
And he fears that he has lost the 50,000 dollars riding on the fight

[Chorus]
A                                              E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa Clara
    F#m                                                             E
The money's on the table, I'm holding now your good luck framed in gold
A                                                      E
Everything we dream of is riding on the spurs of Del Cielo
           F#m                          A                B           E
Then I'll return to buy the land Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

[Verse]
E                                                       F#m
The signal it was given and the roosters rose together far above the sand
B                                                 E
Gallo Del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny breast
          E                                                       F#m
They were separated quickly but they rose and fought each other 37 times again
        B                       A         B                   E
And the legends all agreed that Gallo Del Cielo he fought the best
E                                                                F#m
Now the cries of Saragosa filled the night outside the town of Santa Clara
         B                                                   E
As the beak of Del Cielo lay broken like a shell within his hand
         E                                                       F#m
And they say that Saragosa screamed a curse upon the bones of Pancho Villa
    B                            A       B          E
As Zorro rose up one more time and drove Del Cielo in the sand

[Chorus/Outro]
A                                              E
Hola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San Francisco
         F#m                                                    E
I have no money in my pocket I no longer have your good luck framed in gold
  A                                                         E
I buried it last evening with the bones of my beloved Del Cielo
  F#m                          A        B               E
I will not return to buy the land that Villa stole long ago
A                                                         E 
Do the rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved Casas Grandes?
         F#m                                                             
Does the scar upon my brother's face turn red when he hears mention of my 
  E
name?
           A                                                     E
And do the people of El Sueco still curse the theft of Gallo Del Cielo? 
        F#m                    A          B                  E
Tell my family not to worry, I will not return to cause them shame.
