Intro: D  C G  C D (3x) 

                                        D 
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world 
         G                                              D 
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls 
                    Em 
I was looking for a lady 
                   D      C G   C D   C G 
Someone to have my baby 


                                 D 
So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane 
  G                                     D 
I sat me down next to your all American dame 
                                              Em 
Said, 'I'm going up North', she said, 'It's a pity' 
                                                   D       
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City 



             G      
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying 
                                                     D 
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
             G      
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high 
                                                               D 
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
 


G                                                         D 
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list 
       G                                        D 
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist? 
                            Em 
They said my papers were in order 
                                                          D       
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border 

 
             G      
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying 
                                                     D 
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
             G      
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high 
                                                               D 
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) 
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

Took the first South bound across the Rio and down 
G                                      D 
Found a little place in a small Mexico town 
               Em 
Just me and my lady
