Isabel and her brown skin shined like a sapphire in the summer sun 
               D                                       A 
The pride and joy of a Mexican lawman who lived by the gun 
        Bm                                                    G 
He got cross ways with the cartel they shot down his only son Jose 
       D                                                        A 
So in fear of his daughter's life he packed their bags and late one night she heard him say 
 
 
     G                                                    Bm              
I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line 
         A                                                    Bm       Bm A 
They say freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wine 
       G                                                           Bm 
South Texas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living hell 
        A                                            G 
So come on let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear Isabel 
                    Bm        Bm A 
The coast is clear Isabel

They came across our homestead tired and hungry, cold and moving slow 
         D                                                         A           
We had fence to build a warm place to stay and they had nowhere to go 
            Bm                                                                   G                 
So I worked cattle with her father we were stretching wire and driving post all day 
              D                                                    A                        
While Isabel worked with my mother and late at night I held her tight and she'd take my breath away 
 
 
     G                                                    Bm              
I hear the grass is greener just beyond that Laredo border line 
         A                                                    Bm       Bm A 
They say freedom is much sweeter than sweet blood red sangria wine 
       G                                                           Bm 
South Texas looks like heaven when you're down here in this living hell 
        A                                            G 
So come on let's cross that Rio, the coast is clear Isabel

The sheriff came across her father they treated him like an outlaw on the run 
                D                                                   A 
And Isabel now wears my diamond and that little boy she holds is my son 
                Bm                                                   G 
We got a green card for her father Mariano but it came two years too late 
             D                                                       A  
We got word that he'd been gunned down in a border town shot in the back 
The last thing they heard him say
