   C                         G 
We live by the mountains, we live by the sea

We live by our wits, we live to be free

We never take prisoners, we take no requests

What we do mostly is what we do best

We laugh and we cry and we sing and we dance 
                              C 
We fly through the air by the seat of our pants 
                      F 
With Captain Pendejo, tequila in hand 
   C                              G              C 
We fall to our knees and kiss the ground when we land

We're brave companeros, we ride beyond fences 
                            C 
We take to the road, taking leave of our senses 
              F 
Adios amigos, so long senoritas 
C                       G        C 
Your salty tears flavor our margaritas 

C                    F                    C 
And they call us the Gonzos, the Gonzo Compadres 
              G                   C 
Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas 
                     F                    C
