Verse
          Em   D      G
There's a great hot desert, south of Mexicali
           A7            D
And if you don't have water, boy you better not go

Tequila won't get you

To Evangelina in old Mexico
Chorus
    Bm         F
And the fire I feel for the woman I love
  C      G
Is driving me insane
       D
Knowing she's waiting
C      G
And I can't get there
  Bm            F
And God only knows that I've racked my brain
  C       G
To try and find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

I can tell that you love her
