[A] If you're down in Acuna [D] and you ain't up [C] to [A] being alone
Don't [D] spend all your money on just [C] any honey [A] that's grown
Go [E] find the Mexican blackbird [D] and send [C] all your troubles [A] back home
[E] They
[G] [Ab] [A] all call her puta, [D] cause no one [C] really knows [A] her name
[D] She works the cantina, dancing [C] and all of [A] them's her trade
Her [E] mama was Mexican [D] and her daddy [C] was a [A] ace of spades
Oh, [E] let's drive that old Chrysler [G] to Mexico, [Ab] boy
[D] Say, [G] [D]
keep your [G] hands on the [D] wheel there

[G] [Ab] [A] She hot as a pepper, [D] but smooth [C] as a Mexican [A] bruise

The [E] wings of the [D] blackbird will spread [C] like an eagle [A] for you
[E] [G] Oh, one [Ab] more [D] time
Can you roll another bowl around, [G] please?
[Gm] [G]
