In Mexico


From the album, ”Queens of the Summer Hotel 2021

Dm     Am       Dm       Am
Big veranda. Stately trees
F           Bb              F               A
Servants bring me fruit and cheese
Dm     Am       Dm       Am
Flowers bloom and. Feed their bees
F           Bb              F               A
Underneath the Sword of Damocles

        Bb 
And I'm shooting speed
         Gm
'Cause that's what I do
              Am  C                 Bb   Dm  Bb
When I can't get what I need from you
 Am  Bb  F
In Mexico

Dm     Am       Dm       Am
Every Eden. Has its price
F           Bb              F               A
Here you have to pay it twice
Dm     Am       Dm       Am
Servants bring me beans and rice
F           Bb              F               A
But there's snakes in every Paradise

       Bb 
'Cause I'm shooting speed
              Gm
And that's what I do
              Am  C                 Bb   Dm  Bb
When I can't get what I need from you
 Am  Bb  F Dm
In Mexico
 Am  Bb  F
In Mexico
 
Bb            Dm                  Am       Gm
I'm the crazy one they can point to
Bb            Dm                  Bb    C
I'm the one who's taking the heat
     Am            Bb
So I slip out at night
     Am                           C
And walk through the street

Dm     Am       Dm       Am
I say "yes sir" I say "ma'am"
F           Bb              F               A
When they ask me who I think I am
Dm     Am       Dm       Am
Servants bring me steak and lamb
F           Bb              F               A
While I measure by the milligram

       Bb 
And I'm shooting speed
              Gm
'Cause that's what I do
              Am  C                 Bb   Dm  Bb
When I can't get what I need from you
 Am  Bb  F Dm
In Mexico
 Am  Bb  F Dm
In Mexico
 Am  Bb  F 
Oh, in Mexico
