SAN MIGUEL
Jane Bowers

EM           D       C   B7     EM           
  Down by the mission San Miguel is a great house wherein dwell Don
                            G      EM
   Carlos and La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell.
  G                                
  I work at the ranch. I saddle her mare. I ride with the gun behind
                                      EM
   as she visits her friends here and there.
  She says, "Thank you, Manuel," or, "Manuel, por favor," or "Good ev'ning, Manuel,"
                G     EM
  La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell.
  EM              D       C   B7         EM         
  I dream of the mission San Miguel and it says to me, the mission bell,                                                  G
  "She is married, Manuel, the wife of the rancher, Don Carlos 
   EM
   Cantrell.
  G
  You serve at the ranch. You hold her chair. You carry her boxes,
                                        EM
   trunks, letters, and books here and there.
        AM           EM             AM            EM
  But I hear with my heart what she says with her eyes with, "Good 
  Em
  ev'ning, Manuel," or "Manuel, por favor,"
  
  Or, "The carriage, Manuel," oh "Manuel, close the door."
