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."
E
G She said "I got to warn ya
A 'Bout Mexico and California."
E
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.
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 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.
