                    Em     D
There`s a great hot desert
             G
South of Mexicali
                      A
And if you don`t have water
                     D   D7
Boy you`d better not go
              G        C
Tequila won`t get you
            G       G7
Across that desert
         D             G
To Evangelina  old Mexico

        Bm                  F
And the fire I feel for the woman I love
   C          G
Is drivin` me insane
Em            D/A      C
Knowin` she`s waitin`
                G6
And I can`t get there
Bm                    F
God only knows that I wracked my brain
   C              G
To try and find a way
   Em         D
To reach that woman
        G
Old Mexico

 Em D7 G A7 D D7 G C6 G D D7 G

            Em        D
And I met a kind man
               G
He guarded the border
                  D   A
He said You don`t need papers
A7    Em     D
I`ll let you go
      D7            G         C
I can tell that you love her
                    G
By the look in your eyes now
          Bm          D
She`s the rose of the desert
D7      G
Old Mexico

        Bm                  F
And the fire I feel for the woman I love
   C           G

Em            D/A     C
Knowin` she`s waitin`
            G
And I can`t get there
Bm                    F
God only knows that I wracked my brain
   C             G
To try to find a way

To reach that woman
        G
Old Mexico

                   Em      D
And I dream in the mornin`
