[Bb] [C]
[Bbm] [C]
[D] [F] I [G] was on my way down to [D] Mexico, there was [Gm] trouble on the rise
[D] [Gm] It was nothing more than I left [C] behind, which [Gm] was much to my surprise
[C] I turned around and lit a cigarette, wiped the dust off of my [Cm] [Gm] booze
With off my head I saw [D] the crowd, [G] and I knew it [Gm] was no use
[D] It's been the same way for oh so long, [C] it looks like I'm singing [Bb] the same old [C] song
A
[Bb] [C]
[G] fine and handsome [Bb]
man [D] was he, [Gm] doing good things for the poor
[D] [G] He's giving rides in his jockey [Gm] and he ain't from Cree, they could not hope for more
[D] [C] When it came my turn he said to me, have I seen your face before?
I [Gm] said, oh no, you must be wrong, I'm from a distant shore
[C] [D] So if you don't mind I'll just move along, [C] but it looks like I'm singing [Bb] the same old [C] song

[C] [Gm] A 1940 movie [C] star with a [Gm] long forgotten name
[D] She [G] was a sexy mess in her beaded [D] dress, [Gm] still hanging on to fame
[C] With forgotten life she missed a few and left a glass of wine at [Cm]
home
[G] She was singing the same song that I [D] was, [G] could we both be wrong?
[D] So hand in hand we walk [C] along, each of us singing [Bb] the same old song
