G# G# C# D#
G# Went down to Mexico,
I drove my black El Camino
C# I met up with an old gringo
D# He showed me round, and said to call him Joe.
G# I was there about a week or so,
Wound up in the general hospital,
C# Joe said don't drink the water no more,
D# How the hell was I supposed to know?
G# G# C# D# x2
G# Drove up to San Diego
Saw a sign for Mission Beach
C# And so, went out deep into the ocean,
D# Saw a shark and had a stroke.
G# Back in the ambulance I go,
Had a dream about a girl I used to know,
C# She said "I got to warn ya
D# 'Bout Mexico and California."
A#
C# She said "I got to warn ya
D# 'Bout Mexico and California."
A#
oh yeah
C# She said "I got to warn ya
D# 'Bout Mexico and California."
G# Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,
If Chupacabras ain't enough,
C# Black widow spiders and killer bees,
D# There ain't no shade there ain't no trees.
G# hot desert heat, polluted air,
There's traffic jams beyond compare.
C# That's all I got to warn ya
D# 'bout Mexico and California
G#
G# Woke up and said I got to go,
Doc said "Relax, just take it slow."
C# I tried to argue, but don't you know,
D# Bout California and Mexico?
G# Right then, the doctor hit the floor,
The building shook, it shook some more,
C# I looked down at him and swore,
D# "You son of a bitch! I told you so!"

There's traffic jams beyond compare.
