[Dm]
[D]
I was just a tourist the first time I went to Mexico.
I was a stranger in danger in a world unknown.
A [A] drop of thunder [Gm] in the ground [A] around me did [D] explode.
And the skeletons and dozens came out from that hole.
[Dm] Why in the lie was the [Gm] day the [A] dead that you healed [Dm] I just said,
Oh, whoa, I didn't even know it was the day of the dead.
I tried not to lose my head.
Oh, whoa, [Gm] way [D] down in Mexico.
[Dm] The
[A] [D]
[D] places jumping in paraphernalia swaying to and fro.
[A]
[D] An evil skeleton made off with my deep, buried soul.
They opened the pinata and a swarm of bats went up my nose.
I lost all control, I knew that it was time to [Dm] go.
Why in the lie was the day [Gm] the dead that [A] you healed I [Dm] just said,
Oh, whoa, [Gm] I didn't [Dm] even know it was the day of the dead.
I tried not to lose my head.
Oh, whoa, [Gm] way down in [D] Mexico.
[D] [Cm]
The locals tell me not [Dm] to fear.
[Cm] It happens at least once [Dm] a year.
[C] When hell is full, the dead [Dm] will walk the earth.
[C] And apparently they come [Gm] up here [A] for [D] the beer.
[Dm]
Ah, ah,
[D] whoa.

Oh, whoa, [Gm] way down in [Dm] Mexico.
Dia de [A] los Muertos y [Dm] Calacas, bro.
