[verse #1]
C       D       E
  Hello one and all
C         D     E
   Was it you I used to know
C           D       E
  Can't you hear me call
C        D       E
 On this old ham radio
C      D      E
 All I got to say
C       D        E
  I'm a live and feeling fine
C        D       E
  If you come my way
C         D        E
  You can share my poison wine
 
[chorus]
Bm7                 Am7
No marigolds in the promised land
          C           G
There's a hole in the ground           
           D
Where they used to grow
Bm7                 Am7
Any man left on the Rio Grande
       Em7         D/G
Is the king of the world
   A
As far as I know
 
[verse #2]
C          D         E
   I don't want your bread
C          D         E
   I don't need your helping hand
C         D     E
  I can't be no savage
C         D     E
  I can't be no highwayman
C         D         E
  Show me where you are
C         D      E
  You and I will spend this day
C         D     E
  Driving in my car
C              D        E
   Through the ruins of Santa Fe
 
[chorus]
Bm7                 Am7
No marigolds in the promised land
          C           G
There's a hole in the ground           
           D
Where they used to grow
Bm7                 Am7
Any man left on the Rio Grande
       Em7         D/G
Is the king of the world

C         D      E
   If you come a round

   Watch the sun go brown
C          D      E
   Smoking cobalt cigarettes
C             D       E
   There's no need to hide
C         D          E
   Taking things the easy way

   If I stay in side
C         D        E
  I might live til Saturday
