D9  Am7  G                   Em7     D9
Now the hacienda's dark the town is sleeping;

C                       Am        Cdim    G          G Gdim Dm7
Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping.

C          D9 Am7 G       D9       Am7  D7 G
Vaya con Dios my darling, vaya von Dios my love.


D9  Am7  G                        Em7    D9
Now the village mission bells are softly ringing;

        C                      Am     Cdim      G       G Gdim Dm7
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear them singing.

C          D9 Am7 G       D9       Am7  D7 G
Vaya con Dios my darling, vaya von Dios my love.


Bridge:

    Dm7                  G7     C
Wherever you may be I'll be beside you,

    Dm7              G7               C
Although you're many million dreams away;

     Em7              A7                   D  
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you,

    Em                 A7      D     DM7    D7                 
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day.


 D9 Am7  G                          Em7   D9
Now the dawn is breaking through a grey tomorrow,

        C           Am        Cdim     G       G Gdim Dm7
But the memories we share are there to borrow.

C          D9 Am7 G       D9       Am7  D7 G
Vaya con Dios my darling, vaya von Dios my love;

C          D9 Am7 G       D9       Am7  D7 G
Vaya con Dios my darling, vaya von Dios my love.
