[A] [E] .

I hear mariachi static on my radio and the tubes they glow [B] in the dark .
and I'm there with her in Ensenada and I'm here in Meadow [E] Park .
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter, [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down.
[E] and I'm all strung [B] out on heroin on the outskirts [E] of town .
and I'm sitting here playing solitaire with my pearl handle [B] 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 [B] out on heroin on the outskirts [E] of town .

Well I pawned my Smith Corona and I went to meet my [B] man.
he hangs out down on Alvarado Street by the Pioneer Chicken [E] Stand.
[A] Carmelita, hold me tighter, [E] I think I'm sinking [A] down.
and [E] I'm all strung out [B] on heroin on the outskirts [E] of town.
