Tampico Trauma

Intro: (run of)  5th  4th  3rd  A  
(repeat)

  5th         4th    3rd    A
I must look a mess I must admit
   5th          4th        3rd     A
But I have been travelling quite a 
bit

   D
     South of the Border
   A
     Where the law and order
        D                          
     Is kept by Federales who just 
E
grin
         5th                4th     
3rd     A
     And tell you they just want to 
be your friend

(repeat run)
Continues after the ad
I left for Tampico last July
I jumped off that boat I almost died

   D
     There to greet us
   A
     Were pretty senoritas
       D                        
     I swore that I would not go 
       E
home then

(repeat run)
All those lovely ladies were my 
friends
All those sweet chiquitas they don't
 pretend

(solo)

(repeat run)
That is all I really want to say
I was thrown out of the country 
yesterday

                D
     (See I was)  drinkin' double
   A
     Causin' lots of trouble
              D                
     When the man looked in the 
                          E
window of the bar and he grinned
                   5th              
    4th      3rd      A
     And said, "If you come back we 
just may not be your friend"

(repeat run)
"I don't want to see you 'round here
 again"
"If you come back next time we may 
not..."  (Hidy ho' boys!)
