Oh Mexico all the time

Dreamin' all about Acapulco and a sweet thing on my mind

Oh Mercenary Girl
C F Dm G
Of all the lowdown places in the world

To be stuck inside of a phone booth

Hangin' on the end of a line
A# G
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
C G
Oh Mary Mary I think you're fine
Em Am C G
'Cause you can mix a margarita from a bottle of turpentine
C G
Just between noon and midnight that's when the battle rages on
Em Am C
Mama I just gotta make one more call and I'll be here with you all

night long
Dm G Dm G
All night long all night long
C F C
Oh Mercenary Girl
C F Dm G
Of all the lowdown places in the world

To be livin' in another city

I know it's a cold cruel world
C F
But your eyes look soft and kind
A# A
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind

Oh Mercenary Girl...
