A5
Jaquima to freno
He's an old vaquero
From another time
Hands as fine as the
D5
Dealers of Reno
He's been to the ocean
He's been to the sea
A5
Big long tapaderos hangin' both sides
Of an old Visalia tree
Chorus 1:
E5 A5 E5
Hey Mr. Vaquero
D5
Put a handle on my pony for me
C#5
Teach me the mystery
Verse 2:
A5
Jaquima to freno
He's an old Amansador
Still hangin' on
Just about gone
Like the California Condor
D5
He been down to the rodear ground
Seen him on the movie screen
A5
Ah but sometimes I think he's like America
Only see him in your dreams
(repeat chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
C#5 E5
Did they sing all day
C#5
Did they dance all night
E5
Did they ride their spade bit ponies
C#5
Through the golden light
E5
Did they find true love
C#5
Was it all a bunch of lies
E5 A5
Quien sabe, maybe it was paradise
(repeat first verse, choruses 1 and 2 in that order)
