Tom Pacheco - Robert And Ramona Cifras

Am                 C
Robert met Ramona, Inside a Phoenix bar
 
G                               Dm                    Am
Beneath the Christmas ornaments they walked the boulevard
 
Am                   C
Robert had no money, no jobs he was unskilled
 
G                                 Dm                    Am
They robbed an unlighted grocery, the young cashier was killed
 
 
They took off in a Chevy, they stoled two blocks away
And headed for New Mexico, and hide in Santa Fe
Robert was a drifter, and Ramona been abused
They had 500 dollars, and nothing left to loose
 
Chorus:
F
And the quarter moon was shining
 
Em
The stars so wild and bright
 
C                           Dm
They only had each-other to cling to in this night
 
G                       Am
Two young desperados on Christmas evening flied
 
They pulled off the dark highway to a motel they checked in
They saw themselves on TV, the law was closing in
They stripped out to a side street, and stole a Pontiac
And stopped at a McDonalds for Colas and Big Mac’s
 
And through the night they travelled, there was no time to wait
They passed a few state troopers, checking licence plates
Robert and Ramona regretted what they did
They knew the cops would find them no matter where they hid
 
Chorus:
And the quarter moon was shining
The stars so wild and bright
They only had each-other to cling to in this night
Two young desperados on Christmas evening flied
 
They drove straight up a mountain, below was a small town
They parked right by the edge, over a mile straight down
They made love on a blanket, they kissed and kissed again
Tomorrow would be Christmas, for everyone but them
 
They climbed back in the front seat, he turned the key so swift
And pressed the pedal forward, and drove straight off the cliff
People in the valley, who saw the headlights fall
Thought the star of Bethlehem had come again they called
 
Chorus:
And the quarter moon was shining
The stars so wild and bright
They only had each-other to cling to in this night
Two young desperados on Christmas evening flied
