[Verse]
D                               G
It's a slow, smoky scene at the county line cantina
      A                                 D
Where strangers stop to hear her sing a song
D
She's a legend 'round these parts
    G                          A
For stealing all the hearts of cowboys on their
             D
way to San Antone
D                                 G
She used to be a desert rose with ballerina toes
         A                               D
But that wasn't in the cards she chose to play
D
The pages of her life are wrinkled, but her
G
Spanish eyes still twinkle
A                               D
Every time she steps out on the stage


[Chorus]
N.C.    G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                          D
flying underneath the neon moon
D       G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                             D
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
    G                 D   G              D
She sings the saddest song  you ever heard
G           A
  So bittersweet
N.C.    D
Tequila Mockingbird


[Verse]
D
Well now once she had a man,
D        G
and they called him Diamond Dan
G      A
He was wild and reckless as
          D
a mustang stud
D
'Til one night Tequila found him
         G
with the gamblers gathered 'round him
A                            D
Lyin' in a pool of cheater's blood


[Chorus]
N.C.    G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                          D
flying underneath the neon moon
D       G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                             D
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
    G                 D   G              D
She sings the saddest song  you ever heard
G           A
  So bittersweet
N.C.    D
Tequila Mockingbird

D
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo
D                                        G
It wasn't God who made those Honkey Tonk angels
D
Ooh woo hoo hooh
D                          A              G
I know he's waiting on the other side for me


[Chorus]
N.C.    G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                          D
flying underneath the neon moon
D       G
Tequila Mockingbird,
A                             D
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
    G                 D   G              D
She sings the saddest song  you ever heard
G           A
  So bittersweet
N.C.    D
Tequila Mockingbird

D

D
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo ooh
