C                       G7     F                  C
Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky tonk bar

                                  F
And I’m thinking where I’d rather be 

                  C             G7      C
Maybe chasing senoritas here in Old Mexico
 
   D7                          G7
Or standing on the edge of the sea



        C         G7    F          C
Well if I had the money I tell you honey

                               F
We’d be on that first plane to Spain

                     G7   C                F
But as long as we’re here oh the answer is clear

      G7                  C
We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain



        F   C        G7               C
(Mexico R-a-in) Lord it’s hot down in Texas

        F   C        G7             C
(Mexico R-a-in) yeah I call this my home

                               F             C
And if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere

       F            G7             C
Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam



                  G7   F               C
The lights of the city keep calling my name

                                F
Yeah but I’ve been through that before

                  C          G7             C
It’s just a giant hotel on a long four lane street

         D7                    G7
With the check out time on the door



        C         G7    F          C
Well if I had the money I tell you honey

                          F
We’d be on that New Delhi plane

                     G7   C                  F
But as long as we’re here Lord the answer is clear

      G7                  C
We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain



        F   C        G7               C
(Mexico R-a-in) Lord it’s hot down in Texas

        F   C        G7             C
(Mexico R-a-in) yeah I call this my home

                               F             C
And if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere

       F            G7             C
Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam


 

                       G7         F          C
I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar


                         F
He sure seems unhappy to me


                   C           G7          C
He said he’s going nowhere and going there fast


   D7                      G7
He envies this life that I lead



        C         G7    F          C
Well if I had the money I tell you honey

                        F
I’d keep him from going insane

                      G7   C                   F
There’s one thing for sure Lord there ain’t no cure

       G7                 C
Like a walk in the Mexico rain



        F   C        G7               C
(Mexico R-a-in) Lord it’s hot down in Texas

        F   C        G7             C
(Mexico R-a-in) yeah I call this my home

                               F             C
And if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere

       F            G7             C
Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam


                                F             C
Well if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere

       F            G7             C
Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam
