Pony

G                     C
Love was a Mexican pony you and I would ride
G                      Em7            C                    D
From the desert in the dark cross the river on the other side
C                  D                 G                   C
Border guards they waved us through “Andele ninos” they cried
G                 Em7    C                Em7
Love was a Mexican pony you and I would ride


G                                          C
Love was a porcelain angel in a church in Mexico
G               Em7               C                          D
Dressed in silk painted tears we worshipped what we did not know
C                    D                 G          C
Love was a porcelain angel, it was the moment we kissed
G                       Em7                 C                     D
It was innocence, it was grace, it was the sound of the serpent’s hiss


C                  D          G            C
Love was a Mexican pony that you and would ride
G                      Em7             C                   D
From the desert in the dark cross the river to the other side


C                 D                 G                     C
Love was a Sunday morning when our white flags flew in smoke
G                      Em7                C                D
It was just before the call to mass, the cigarettes, the jokes
C                  D             G              C
Love was a Sunday morning when you and I would pray
G                Em7                C                 D
Press our hands together the way we did when you went away
