G Bm C G
Farewell to the lights of Madera, I'm leaving with the wind at my back
G Bm C GTell all of my friends in Dos Palos, I'm gone but I'll be circling back
Now I'm crossing the Chowchilia River
G EmBy the light of a ragged moonbeam
C Cm G EmLord I'll miss the Rose of San Joaquin
Em G Bm C G
I'll miss the sun on the Sierra Nevadas, adobe moon on the rise
Shining down on my love in Madera, shining into her dark Spanish eyes
G EmOh she taught me those Mexican love songs
G Em"Volver, Volver" in my dreams
And I miss the Rose of San Joaquin
G EmCaught somewhere between
C Cm G EmThe road and the Rose of San Joaquin
Em G Bm C G
Oh her black hair fell on the blanket in the tall grass we with the dew
Making love through the night by the river
C GOh Magdalene how my heart cries for you
G EmAlone on this highway of darkness
You are the light of my dreams
C Cm GAnd I miss the Rose of San Joaquin
G EmCaught somewhere between
The road and the Rose of San Joaquin
