[E]
I hear mariachi static on my radio And the tubes they glow in the [B] dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada And I'm here in Echo [E] Park
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down
[E] And I'm all strung out on [B] heroin On the outskirts [E] of town
Well I'm sitting here playing solitaire With my pearl [B]-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone They cut off your welfare [E] check
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down
[E] And I'm all strung out [B] on heroin On the outskirts [E] of town

I pawned my Smith Corona And I went to meet my [B] man
He hangs out down on El Verado Street By the Pioneer Chicken [E] Stand
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down
[E] And I'm all strung out [B] on heroin On the outskirts [E] of town
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down
