Intro: D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD (3x)

                    D MajorD
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
     G+G                       D MajorD
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
          E minorEm
I was looking for a lady
          D MajorD   C majorC G+G  C majorC D MajorD  C majorC G+G
Someone to have my baby


                 D MajorD
So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane
 G+G                   D MajorD
I sat me down next to your all American dame
                       E minorEm
Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity"
                          D MajorD
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City

       G+G
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                           D MajorD
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
       G+G
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                D MajorD
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+G                             D MajorD
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list
    G+G                    D MajorD
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist?
              E minorEm
They said my papers were in order
                             D MajorD
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border


       G+G
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                           D MajorD
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
       G+G
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                D MajorD
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)

                       D MajorD
Took the first South bound across the Rio and down
G+G                   D MajorD
Found a little place in a small Mexico town
        E minorEm
Just me and my lady
          D MajorD
Now she's having my baby


       G+G
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                           D MajorD
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
       G+G
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                D MajorD

Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                D MajorD
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)
