Intro:Am 

Am                 
Texas night, lovely senorita, 
E 
wonderin by, cuaght my eye 
                                          Am 
and as we danced, i knew id never let her go-o 

Am 
stars looked down, flashin thata warnin 
E 
man beware, I didnt care, 
                                                Am 
caught somwhere, tween midnight and the mornin glow. 

     Dm                           Am        
her hair was black as ebony, her skin was soft and white. 
      E                                         
her perfume filled my head with dreams, my heart beat like a tamborine. 


        C                                     F 
she whispered low, somethin in spanish and flashed those green eyes. 
        C                           G 
the moonlight and tequilla blinded me to her disguise. 
  C                                       F               Dm 
lips like whine, brushed against mine and as she lured me in, 
           E                                     Am 
I shoulda seen the devil's thumbprint, plain as sin. 

Am 

Am 
mornin light, through the tattered curtains 
E 
hotel room, clock says noon 
                                       Am 
i rub my head and feel a burnin in my brain 

Am 
she stole my watch, stole a hundred dollars 
E 
left me flat, but worse than that, 
                                            Am 
she took my heart and didnt even leave her name 

Dm                                Am 
I guess she made a fool of me, i bet im not the 1st 
    E                                
my head tells me its over now, but I cant help rememberin how, 



        C                                     F 
she whispered low, somethin in spanish and flashed those green eyes. 
        C                          G 
the moonlight and tequilla blinded me to her disguise. 
  C                                       F               Dm 
lips like whine, brushed against mine and as she lured me in, 
           E                                     Am 
I shoulda seen the devil's thumbprint, plain as sin.
