Verse
Dm Am My name is Juan Hano de Castro F Am My father was a Spanish Grandee Dm But I won my wife in a card game E7 Am To hell with those lords o'er the sea
Verse
Dm Am In my youth I had a Monterey homestead F Am Creeks, valleys, mountains all mine Dm I built me a snug little cabin E7 Am And I roofed it with Monterey pine
Verse
Dm Am And I had me a bronc, was a buckskin F Am Like a hawk he could glide over the trail Dm We rode 40 miles every Friday E7 Am To get me some grub and my mail
Chorus
Dm Am But the South Coast is a wild coast and lonely F E7 F E You may win a card game in Jolon Am Dm Am But the lion still rules the Barranca Dm F Am And a man there is always alone
Verse
Dm Am I sat in a card game at Jolon F Am I played there with an hombre named Juan Dm And after I'd taken his money E7 Am He said, "All against my daughter, Dawn"
Verse
Dm Am I picked up the ace, I had won her F Am My heart which was down at my feet Dm Jumped up to my throat in a hurry E7 Am Like a warm summer's day she was sweet
Verse
Dm Am He opened the door to the kitchen Dm Am And he called the girl out with a curse Dm Saying "Take her, Goddamn her, you won her E7 Am She's yours now for better or worse"
Chorus
Dm Am Yeah, the South Coast is a wild coast and lonely F E7 F E You may win a card game in Jolon Am Dm Am But the lion still rules the Barranca Dm F Am And a man there is always alone
Verse
Dm Am Her arms had to tighten around me F Am As we rode up the hill from the south Dm Not a word did I hear from her that day E7 Am Or a kiss from her pretty red mouth
Verse
Dm Am We got to the cabin at twilight F Am And the stars twinkled over the coast Dm She soon loved the orchard, the valley E7 Am But I knew that she loved me the most
Verse
Dm Am Oh, that was a gay happy winter F Am I carved on a cradle of pine Dm By a fire in that snug little shanty E7 Am I sang with that sweet wife of mine
Chorus
Dm Am But the South Coast is a wild coast and lonely F E7 F E You may win a card game in Jolon Am Dm Am But the lion still rules the Barranca Dm F Am And a man there is always alone
Verse
Dm Am And then I got hurt in a landslide F Am Crushed hip and twice broken bone Dm She saddled up Buck just like lightning E7 Am Rode off for a doctor in Jolon
Verse
Dm Am But the lion screamed in the Barranca F Am Buck, he bolted and he fell on the slide Dm My young wife lay dead in the moonlight E7 Am My heart died that night with my bride
Chorus
Dm Am Oh, the South Coast is a wild coast and lonely F E7 F E You may win a card game in Jolon Am Dm Am But the lion still rules the Barranca Dm F Am And a man there is always alone
Verse
Dm Am They buried her out in the orchard F Am They carried me down into town Dm I lost my Chiquita, mi (swayno) E7 Am I'm an old broken man all alone
Verse
Dm Am The cabin still stands on the hillside F Am Its doors open wide to the rain Dm Both the cradle and my heart are empty E7 Am I never can go there again
Chorus
Dm Am Yeah, the South Coast is a wild coast and lonely F E7 F E You may win a card game in Jolon Am Dm Am But the lion still rules the Barranca F E7 Am And a man there is always alone
