[G] [C] [G]
[Am] [Em] [C]
[A] Down in a [C] Mexican cafe,
[Am] That's where [G] I met my love one [F] day.
[D] [G] It was a [Dm] romantic [G] rendezvous,
And with [Dm] a sigh,
[G] She ordered [C#] tacos for two.
[G] The corn tortilla was [C] too hard,
[Am] [G] And it was dripping too much [Dm] lard.
[B]
Her [D] [Dm] eyes ablaze, and then I [G] knew,
[Dm] The sauce was [G] hot [C] on our [A] tacos for [C] two.
[F] Our hearts were burning,
[Fm] But it [C] wasn't from the yearning.
[D#] So we [Dm] both reached for the water,
[G] Because our faces, [C] red, were turning.
[G] And by the flickering [C] candlelight,
We sat [G] and suffered through our plight.
Because it was [Dm] rough, I'm telling [G] you,
[Dm] To sit and chew [G] those [Dm] tacos for two.
[C]
[Dm] [G] [F]
[Dm] [Bm] [C] The
[G] [A] [Am]
[A] [F] band was playing a most beautiful [C] bolero.
[D#] Then the [D] waiter brought the check,
[Dm]
[G] And then I reached for [C] my dinero.
[C#] [G] [Gm] I found I [F#] didn't [C] have a dime,
[A] [F] So for that I'm [G] serving time.
So she [Dm] walked out and said,
We're through,
[G] And [Dm] left me flat [G] [C] with [A] my tacos [C] for two.
[G#m] [C]
[N] What a romantic song.
