Verse: 1 
D                           Em          A 
Takes a glass of Tequila to raise up my spirits 
           D                      Em       A 
When I get down I'm drinking them two at a time 
       G            D           Em            G 
'Til I swear that I feel like a poor drowning sailor 
D                      Em     A           D 
Salt on my lips and my tongue - tastes of lime 

G A D Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise G D Em A Let's put the light back in each other's eyes G D A G And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll Em We can take the road down south, babe D A D G A Get to Me-x-ico
Verse: 2 D Em A I don't wanna hear any sad stories D Em A Hurt glances in mirrors joined in direct lines G D Em G I bought her a drink and we made an agreement D Em A D 'Don't tell me your sad story and I won't tell you mine.'
G A D Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise G D Em A Let's put the light back in each other's eyes G D A G And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll Em We can take the road down south, babe D A D G A Get to Me-x-ico
Verse: 3 D Em A Whatever we say it is just the booze talking D Em A Skinny dogs howl at a Mexico moon G D Em G Kids wear no shoes, dusty streets full of dreams D Em A D Aim for the dance floor and maybe they'll play a slow tune
G A D Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise G D Em A Turquoise and silver stars hung in the skies G D A G And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll Em We can take the road down south, babe D A D Get to Me-x-ico Em We will take the road down south D A D Get to Me-x-ico
