[Dm] [E] [C#m]
[B] [F#m] [C#m]
[D] [A] Way down here, [E] you [B] need a [A] reason to move.
Feel like a [E] fool, [B] running stakes, [A] sidekicks.
Blue's so low, [E] [B] leave your mind [A] high and [F#] maybe take [D#m] a [C#] hold.
[B] It's the [F#] road, it sounds [D#m] so simple, [C#] I've just [B] got to go.
[F#] The sun's [D#m] so hot, [C#] I've got to [B] go.
[A] I [E] guess I'll have to [F#m] go home now.
[G] [A]
[E] Americana, [B] got the sleepy [A] eye.
[E] It's still shaking [B] like a [A] live wire now.
[E] Sneaky's [B] in the beat, [A] I've got the eyes [F#] on the fly.
[D#m] Oh, [C#] [B] Mexico.
[D#m]
It sounds so sweet, [C#] with the sun [B] sinking [F#] low.
The moon's [D#m] so bright, [C#] lights the light [B] of the night.
I'd like [A] to make [E] everything [C#m] alright.
[F#]
Oh, [C#m] [F#]
[C#m] [E] [F#]
Mexico.
[C#m] [F#]
[G#] [A]
[E] Baby's [B] hungry, her [A] money's all gone.
Don't [E] smack Paul, [Bm] no more talk [B] on the phone.
[A]
She gets [E] along, let her [B] send back a [A] postcard.
[F#] Time to depart.
[D#m] Oh, [C#] down in [B] Mexico.
[F#]
I've [D#m] never really [C#] been, so I don't [B] really [F#] know.
[D#m] Oh, [C#] [B] Mexico.
[A]
I [E] guess I'll have to [F#] say.
[D#m] Oh, [C#]
[B] Mexico.
[F#] I've never [D#m] really [C#] been, but I sure [B] like to [F#] go.
Oh, [D#m] [C#]
[B] Mexico.
[A] I [E] guess I'll have to [F#] go down.
[D#m] Y [C#]'all are fucking about [B] in [F#] Mexico.
Oh, [C#] [B]
[D#m] Mexico.
I guess I'll have to go down.
I guess I'll have to go down.
