D                                      E
        Down the road a ways i've heard said a new day's coming on
                   A                                D
        Where the women folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone
                                             E
        I'll believe it when i see it and i haven't seen it yet
                   B                                 E
        Don't mind me just keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat


Chorus 1:
                A                             E
        There ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand
                                                               A
        How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a man
                                               E
        If i'd never felt the sunshine then i would not curse the rain
                                                                   A
        If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train


Verse 2:
         D                                     E
        Me and Louise Higgins-Botham used to chase across the yard
                 A                 D
        Back in 1947 that's when more than times were hard
                                                E
        Well pity me i didn't find the line in time like a fool
                     B                     E
        In front of God and everybody i politely blew my cool


Chorus 2:
                  A                      E
        Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the can
                                                             A
        When you're down in Madamoris getting busted by the man
                                               E
        If i'd never felt the sunshine,Hell i would not curse the rain
                                                              A
        If i hadn't been railroaded well i guess i'd been a train
