play twice

     G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G
Way down here    you need a reason to move
    G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA     G+G
Feel a fool    running your stateside games
     G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA   G+G
Lose your load,  leave your mind behind,

Baby James

Oh, Mexico
  E MajorE     C# minorC#m      BB   A augmentedA

It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low

The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
