       G                                C/G        G
Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five
              C                   Cm    C

I couldn't understand it

Just to dig the local sounds

When along came a señorita
Dm7                       G/F
She looked so good that I had to meet her

Grow some funk of your own

We no like to with the gringo fight

But there might be a death in Mexico tonight

If you can't grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go

Verse 2:
       G                           C/G        G
Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends
                    C                  Cm     C
For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten
  C
I knelt to pray

        F               C/F   G/F  G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
Just to see if he would comprehend
     G                     C/G    G
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town
               C             Cm   C
In a little cantina that the boys had found
