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

There's traffic jams beyond compare.
