Carmelita Chords by Linda Ronstadt

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in [G] the dark _
And I'm there with you in Ensenada _
And I'm here in Echo [C] _ Park
_ [F] Carmelita, _ hold me tighter _
I [C] think I'm sinking [F] down _
[C] And I'm lost around _ _ [G] town
On the outskirts [C] of town
_ _ _ _ Well, I pawned my Smith & Wesson
And I went to meet my [G] man
Who _ hangs out down on Alvarado Street
At the tiny chicken [C] stand
_ _ [F] Carmelita, _ hold me tighter
I [C] think I'm sinking [F] down
_ [C] And I'm lost around _ [G] town
_ On the _ outskirts [C] of town
_ [F] Well, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm sitting here playing solitaire
With my [G] pearl-handled deck _
The county won't give me no more _ methadone
And they cut off your welfare [C] check _
[F] _ Carmelita, _ hold me tighter
I [C] think I'm sinking [F] down _
[C] And I'm lost around _ [G] town _
On the _ outskirts [C] of town _
_ [F] Carmelita, hold me tighter _
[C] I think I'm sinking [F] down
And [C] I'm lost around _ [G] town
On the _ outskirts [C] of town _
