tequila amaretto on down.

[Verse]
            D                            A        D
There was a warm southern breeze in the air that night, there were
 G                         D
dancers looking light and gay,
           G                      D                          Em7
There was music in the bars, and eight hundred cars, driving up and down
           A
along the way.
            D                          A           D           G
There were pretty city lights shining down on the sights and a bridge
                D
across the Rio Grande
D         G                        D                       A
There was me on the street with my heart at my feet and my pockets full
           D
of desert sand.


[Chorus]
         G     D              A     D            G              D
Singing, Oh, Maria what’d you do to me with your long obsidion hair?
           G                    D                     Em7
You had a hand on my heart and one in my pocket now I know you never
        A
really cared.
         G              D           A             D            G  D
And El Diablo’s always looking for another blind fool and he’s always
Em7       A
close at hand.
             G                   D                           A
He drives a taxi in the day and night he plays trumpet in a mariachi
D
