Verse 
         D                   A/C#      G/B        D/A 
Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky-tonk bar 
        D/F#                      G 
And I’m thinking where I’d rather be  
                  D/F#          A       D 
Maybe chasing señoritas down in Old Mexico  
   E7                          A7 
Or standing at the edge of the sea 
   D         A/C#  G/B        D/A 
If I had the money I tell you honey 
     D/F#                      G 
We’d be on that first plane to Spain 
                     Em       D/F#      Bm 
But as long as we’re here the answer is clear 
      A                       D 
We’ll dance in the New Mexico rain

Verse D A/C# G/B D/A The lights of the city keep calling my name D/F# G But I have been through that before D/F# A D It’s a giant hotel on a long four lane street E7 A7 It’s got a checkout time on the door D A/C# G/B D/A If I had the money I tell you honey D/F# G We’d be on that New Delhi train Em D/F# Bm But as long as we’re here the answer is clear A D We’ll waltz in the New Mexico rain

Verse D A/C# G/B D/A I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar D/F# G And he sure seems unhappy to me D/F# A D He tells me he’s going nowhere and he’s going there fast E7 A7 And he envies this life that I lead D A/C# G/B D/A If I had the money I tell you honey D/F# G I’d keep him from going insane Em D/F# Bm I know there’s one thing for sure, there just ain’t no cure A D Like a walk in the New Mexico rain
