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
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
*    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
[Refrain]
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

*      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
[Refrain]
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

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
