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