Verse 2 (guitar 1 plays the same thing)
(guitar 2 plays the chords on Wah-Wah)
Seniorita's panned in :"Chico, come-on home!"
Santa-Anna's losing, you'll be first to go
Sam Whosman's laughin', Davy Crocket too
When Anna takes the Alamo the first to go is you,
Chorus 2 (same as chorus 1)
Mornin' calm mornin'
Ah Chico's gonna have his share
Mornin' sad mornin'
Heaven will be THERE-AHHHHHHHHHHH
Mornin' sad mornin'
What a laugh and a laugh AH AH AH AH AH AH AH!
Play Riff A 4 times (don't forget to add the vibrato on the F# half the times)
Play Riff B once
Then play only the end of it (below) 3 times.
