[E] [A]
[C#m] Well it [A] got so hot
last night I swear
you couldn't hard to [D] breathe
[A] a heat of lightning burned [G#m] the sky [C#m] like alcohol
[A]
[C#] I sat on my [A] porch
without my shoes and watched the cars [D] roll by
[A] As the headlights raced [G#m] to the corner of the kitchen [A] wall
[D] Mama [A] dear your boy is here
[D] [E] far [A] across the sea
[D] Waiting for [A] that sacred call that burns inside of [E] me
And [A] I feel a storm
[D] All wet and [A] warm not ten [D] miles away
[A]
Approaching [G#m] my
[C#m] Mexican [A] home
[D] [A]
[E] [A]

Oh my [A] god, I cried so [D] hot inside [A] you could die in your living [D] room
[A] Take a fan from the window [E] prop the door back [A] with a broom
[G#m]
[A] And the cuckoo clock has [D] died of shock
[A] Windows feel [D] no pain
[A] And the air is still as [E] the throttle on [C#m] a [A] funeral train
[D] Mama [A] dear your boy is here
[D] far [A] across the sea
[D] Waiting for [A] that sacred call that burns inside of me
[E]
[A] And I feel a storm
[D] All wet and [A] warm not ten [D] miles away

Well, [A] my father died [D] on the porch outside
[A] on August a [D] afternoon I
[A] Suburban and cried with a [E] friend by the [A] light of the moon
[G#m]
[A] So it's hurry hurry
[D] Step right [A] up.
It's a matter of life or [D] death
[A] The sun's going [E] down and the moon is [C#m] just [A] holding his breath
[D] Mama dear [A] your boy is here
[D] far across [A] the sea
[D] Waiting for [A] that sacred call that burns inside of me
[E]
[A] And I feel a storm
[D] All wet and [A] warm not ten miles [D] away
[A] Approaching my Mexican home
Approaching [E] my Mexican [A] home
Approaching [D] my Mexican [A] home
Thank [Am] you
