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