04 Jun 02 - 07:30 PM (#723142) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: GUEST Ralph is pretty notorious for stopping his lyrics being published, hence your difficulty in finding it. Guess you'll have to hope that someone has the recording to transcribe for you. |
05 Jun 02 - 03:48 PM (#723765) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Susanne (skw) Thanks, guest, but I knew that already ... Any more help on this one? |

06 Jun 02 - 04:53 PM (#724698) Subject: Lyr Add: TEQUILA SUNSET (Ralph McTell) From: Noreen TEQUILA SUNSET (Ralph McTell)
Takes a glass of tequila to raise up my spirits
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise
I don't wanna hear any sad stories
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise
Whatever we say is just the booze talking
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise
Well take the road down south, Recorded on Ralph McTell A collection of his love songs NK
This is what it sounds like to me- anyone have better thoughts? One thing I'm not sure of is the start of the 2nd line of the 2nd verse- I think there's a word before glances but I can't make it out. Noreen |
07 Jun 02 - 06:21 PM (#725581) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Susanne (skw) Noreen, you're a treasure! Thanks a million! I've got a recording of it but I wouldn't have had time to work it out for some time. |
07 Jun 02 - 06:26 PM (#725585) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: GUEST Jeez, Susanne, We hunt high and low to try and help out, then you admit that you haven't got the lyrics because you're too lazy to listen to your own records! Mental note: Ignore all skw lyric requests in future |
07 Jun 02 - 06:55 PM (#725617) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Susanne (skw) Within the last four years I've contributed at least 135 sets of lyrics to the Forum, most of them taken down by ear in a language not my own, so I don't see any reason to hang my head in shame. All I have for your 'hunting high and low' is your own word, guest, and I don't trust cowards! :-) :-) :-) |
07 Jun 02 - 07:01 PM (#725620) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: GUEST you could have at least posted what lyrics you heard. I did hunt 'high and low' apologies to you, but I'm getting really fed up with people who don't bother to help themselves |
07 Jun 02 - 09:06 PM (#725688) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Noreen Take no notice, Susanne; you couldn't be more welcome. It took me about 20mins in all, and was not a pleasant task, easily carried out for a friend. Noreen |
07 Jun 02 - 09:11 PM (#725692) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Noreen Oops... Mental note: proof read after changing sense of posting! What I meant to say, of course, was: it was a pleasant task, easily carried out for a friend. |
08 Sep 04 - 04:23 PM (#1267051) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: HuwG At risk of starting another flame fest, does anyone have the chords / tabs to this one ? |

23 Nov 04 - 09:35 AM (#1336432) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: Dickmac I have an arrangement that I'l try to find and post, but don't hold your breath. The "missing" word at the start of the second verse I think is "Two" |
23 Nov 04 - 12:24 PM (#1336615) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: open mike and no matter about stating the obvious... interesting piece of information, that (about Ralph being reluctant to publish) learn something every day on the cat! |

05 Aug 10 - 01:03 PM (#2958878) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: GUEST,Tony H Does anyone have the chords to tequilla sunrise please. I've got the lrics but as we all know Ralph plays some funny chords sometimes. I guess it comes from having six fingers on each hand, how else does he playu like that !!! |
05 Aug 10 - 01:12 PM (#2958890) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: maeve According to this site http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/mctell-ralph/tequila-sunset-11065.html , the missing word is "Hurt", not "Two". I'm looking for the chords, guest Tony. maeve |
05 Aug 10 - 01:18 PM (#2958895) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tequila Sunset (Ralph McTell) From: maeve This Tequila Sunset performance on Youtube might be helpful in working ou the chords; no idea how different they might be from McTell's. The performer says "Sad glances", by the way. |
