Capo 2

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)



Instrumental: G   C D  C G   C D  C G  C D  C G


                       D
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
          D
Now she's having my baby



       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
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)
