It hap-pened in Mon-te-rey, a long time a-go
-2 3   3  -2 -3 -3* -3   -2  3   3 -2 -5
I met her in Mon-te-rey, in old Mex-i-co
 -5    4   -3*  -3   4
Stars and steel gui-tars
-3* -3    3    -3*  -3  3  -2  -3
And lus-cious lips, as red as wine
  4    -3* -3   3   -3*
Broke some-bod-y's heart
-3   3 -2  -3    3   -2 -3   3
And I'm a-fraid that it was mine

-2  3    3   -2 -3  -3* -3
It hap-pened in Mon-te-rey
 -2   3    3   -2    4
With-out think-ing twice
-2  3   3  -2    4  -4  4
I left her and threw a-way 
 4* -5  4*  4 -3* -3
the key to par-a-dise
3  -5 -5*  -5     3
My in-dis-creet heart, 
  3    4  -5    4     3
longs for the sweet-heart 
 -2  3  3   -2  4   4  -5 -3*
That I left in old Mon-te-rey
