[Verse]
N.C. G5 D A G
Way down here you need a reason to move
G5 D A G
Feel a fool running your stateside games
G5 D A G
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
E C#m B A
It sounds so simple I just got to go
E C#m B A
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
G D/F# E E9sus E7sus E
Guess I'll have to go now
[Verse]
* G5 D A G
Americano got the sleepy eye
G5 D A G
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
G5 D A G
Sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
E C#m B A
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
E C#m B A
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
G D/F# E
Make everything all right

[Verse]
* G5 D A G
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
G5 D A G
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
G5 D A G
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Oh, down in Mexico
E C#m B A
I never really been so I don't really know
E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
G D/F#
I guess I'll have to go
E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
E C#m B A
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
G A E E9sus E7sus E
I guess I'll have to go now
[Outro]
E C#m B A
Talking about Mexico
E C#m B A
In a honky tonk down in Mexico
** E C#m B A
Oh, Mexico
(repeat and fade out)
