[Verse 1]
 D                        C
My name is Juan Medina, a Vaquero once was I
      D                         C
Now I live in the air above the pepper trees
D                              C
Where are all the cattle, that belonged to Captain Dana
        D               Am7          G          D       D# D
They're blown away like ashes in the California breeze


[Verse 2]
    D                                C
And once I rode the foothills, and I swung a long reata
   D                                      C
I worked the hide and tallow trade in the land I loved
  D
I rode in wooden stirrups
        C
And the dust raised by my ponies
    D              Am7           G                D     D# D
Was smoke, from my alter, offered up to the God above


[Chorus]
    G         Bm              D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
    G         Bm              D              A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
    G                 Bm                   D               C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C                                  D
I am still here,     todavía estoy aquí
           C                      D     D# D
I am still here,    todavia estoy aqui


[Verse 3]
D
In the canyon and barrancas
    C
And willows by the creek bank
  D                                  C
I chased the wild cattle through the live oak trees
      D
Cross valleys ridge and mesa
       C
And the hills baked oh so yellow
   D                 Am7              G           D  D# D
My ponies sleek and dancing were all a man would need


[Chorus]
    G         Bm              D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
    G        Bm               D              A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
    G                 Bm                    D                C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C                                  D
I am still here,     todavía estoy aquí
           C                       D
I am still here,    todavia estoy aqui


[Verse 4]
       D                              C
In the fog of early morning,   o' the misty haze of twilight
D                                 C
Beyond the sagging ruins of these adobe walls
        D                       C
You may see me in the dust that shimmers in the half light
   D              C               G                  D   D# D
Or hear me in the whisper, of the grass so green and tall


[Chorus]
     G        Bm              D
Todavía estoy aquí I am still here
     G        Bm              D              A
Todavía estoy aquí my soul is dancing in the moonlight
    G                 Bm                   D               C
And mingles with each grain of sand in the land that is my birthright
C                                  D
I am still here,     todavía estoy aquí
           C                       D
I am still here,    todavia estoy aqui


[Outro]
   D                       C
My name is Juan Medina   a Vaquero once was I
      D                             C
Now I live, in the air above of the pepper trees.....
