New Mexico chords by The Lemonheads

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
A        Em
 Oh how the wind did blow
 G         D
Across the dusty plain
Am      Em
All those who came before
   G        D
Were sworn now to remain
A         E
She said she loved me
     G       D
I didn't even know her name

Chorus 1:
Am     E      Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
G            D
They left their bones in Mexico, yea
A      Em
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh
G           D
Their voices warned me not to go to Mexico

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
A      E
I heard the mission bells
G         D
Exposed the life betrayed
A      E
The sin you need to hide's
G           D
In the shadows of the grave
A     Em
I feel the devil here
       G      D
But it's too late to run away

Chorus 2:
Am       E
Whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa
G         D
Take me home sweet Mexico
A       Em
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
G           D
Their voices warned me not to go

Verse 3:
A      E
I walked the winding trail
   G       D
That led me to the grave
A      Em
The voices called to me and said
G     D
Gringo go away
A     E
The Virgin Mary cries
    G       D
As the sacrifice is made for

Chorus 3:
Am     Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
G         D
I left my bones in Mexico, yea
A       Em
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
G
The voices warned me
D
They warned me not to go
