[Verse 1]
 Cm                               Bb
Long ago, high on a mountain in Mexico,
                            Ab
lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo,
                            G
who met a young girl and he loved her so.

[Verse 2]

Rich was she, came from a very high family,
                      Ab
Angelo knew it could never be,
                       G
they ran away to their destiny.

[Chorus]
 C                                           F
Running away together, running away forever, Angelo,
 C                                                   F
running away from danger, hiding from every stranger, Angelo.
                C                         F
They knew it wasn't wrong, they found a love so strong,
                C                           F
they took their lives that night, and in the morning light
                C
they found them on the sand,
               F                   G
they saw them lying there, hand in hand.
