[Verse 1]
A                          E     
Went down to Mexico on the Fourth
      A
 of July
A                            
I got a tattoo of a moth and a 
   E       A
butterfly
              D                    
Had too much time to burn, a little
            A
 money to spend
A                              E 
So I bought a switchblade for 
         A
each of my friends
A                                
Pablo and Dan had a plan said we 
E         A
gonna get rich
A                       
Put the double-cross on a 
                  E         A
double-crossin' narco snitch
                    D              
Just a dirty little two man job, 
                   A
but it's a sure-fire win
A                             
Brother when we cut him down we 
        E       A
gonna cut you in

[Chorus]
              D                    
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya 
                A
know I'd do it all again
A                                 
Back when I bought a switchblade 
   E           A
for each of my friends
          D                   
They were sharp enough to stab 
          A           E
another hole in the sky
D                              
Hard enough to make the proudest 
   A       E
diamond sigh
D                            
Faster than the rockets on the 
  A            E
Fourth of July
           F#m                   D
Strong and cruel enough to make a 
          E    A
statue of Mary cry

[Verse 2]
A                                 
They said amigo don't you worry 
        E         A
now we're gonna dissappear
A                                 
Just a couple of months, they 
            E        A
said, it's been almost a year
                     D             
And know that if you want that 
                           A
kinda money man you gotta stay brave
A                                 
Federales are pullin' bodies out 
  E        A
of shallow graves

[Chorus]
              D                    
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya 
                A
know I'd do it all again
A

[Verse 3]
A                                 
Later in the fall I got the call, 
           E       A
"Boy won't ya come down?
A                                 
Maybe put a name with a few 
  E        A
unlucky faces we found"
                  D                
Now no matter what I do can't get 
           A
my heart to mend
A                              
Somebody buried a switchblade in 
   E           A
each of my friends

[Chorus]
              D                    
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya 
                A
