F               G                       Am
In the crystal ball the gypsy sees the villa
F                  G                 Esus4 E Esus4 E
The riders on the hill the fire in the fields
 F                    G                    Am
She sees the mission bell swinging in the silence
Dm                F
Now the shooting starts
Dm                       F
The bullets pierce the hearts
Dm             F             G
The senoritas crying at the well

Up in the Gold Hotel the money hits the table
The heavies all are there, that's why the deal's
going down
Beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable
Down upon the street beside a garbage heap
A mariachi band begins to play

Somewhere a blues guitar plays echoes in the
alleyway
The Tijuana dawn claims another day
The golden sun rises on the runway
The pilot understands, the money changes hands
Inside the jet, the briefcase snaps goodbye

In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screaming blue, his hair is red as
blood
And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancing out dressed in gold lamé
He kills the bull and lives another day
