Oh Mexico all the time
C#m F#m A E
Dreamin' all about Acapulco and a sweet thing on my mind

Mogadishu sunrise low above the sea

All of those lawyers in California won't bring her back to me

Oh Mercenary Girl
A D Bm E
Of all the lowdown places in the world
Bm E
To be stuck inside of a phone booth

Hangin' on the end of a line
G E
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
A E
Oh Mary Mary I think you're fine
C#m F#m A E
'Cause you can mix a margarita from a bottle of turpentine

Just between noon and midnight that's when the battle rages on

Mama I just gotta make one more call and I'll be here with you all

night long
Bm E Bm E
All night long all night long
A D A
Oh Mercenary Girl
A D Bm E
Of all the lowdown places in the world

Comin' from another time

I know it's a cold cruel world

But your eyes look soft and kind
G F#
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind

Oh Mercenary Girl...
