C                     Am
C                     Am
In a bar Cin Acunia called Ma Crosby's
I found myself not feeling any Ampain 
FI told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for Gfreedom
FShe said she'd Gonly come to catch a Ctrain.
We strCuck up some idle conversation
Traded all the troubles on our Amminds
FOne thing led to another in the Gevening
And I feFll in love Gagain for my last Ctime
(Chorus)
CBlame it on Mexico if you need a Freason
GSay too much guitar music, tequila, salt and Clime 
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the Freason
That I fell in love Gagain for my last Ctime
C                     Am
C                     Am
CDaylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as Amhell
FI felt all the pains of a morning Gafter
And all Falone as Gfar as I could Ctell 
CWhy she left I have no way of knowing
I guess she caught her train and that's a Amcrime
FShe took everything I ever Gwanted
And I felFl in love Gagain for my last Ctime
(Chorus)
CBlame it on Mexico if you need a Freason
GSay too much guitar music, tequila, salt and Clime 
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the Freason
That I fell in Glove again for my last Ctime
(Chorus)
CBlame it on Mexico if you need a Freason
GSay too much guitar music, tequila, salt and Clime 
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the Freason
That I fell in Glove again for my last Ctime
(Chorus)
CBlame it on Mexico if you need a Freason
GSay too much guitar music, tequila, salt and Clime 
Blame it on Mexico, (FADE)  but she's the Freason
That I fell in love Gagain for my last Ctime.

The story behind the song

George Strait is known for pioneering the neotraditional country style with his authentic cowboy image and roots-oriented sound. This song comes from an artist often called the "King of Country Music" for his influence on the genre. "Blame It On Mexico" captures a feeling of looking for an excuse for one's actions, perhaps after a night of revelry or a regrettable decision. It plays like a lighthearted deflection, finding humor in externalizing responsibility.

C Am

In a bar in Acunia called Ma Crosby's

I found myself not feeling any pain

F G

I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom

F G C

She said she'd only come to catch a train.

We struck up some idle conversation

Traded all the troubles on our minds

F G

One thing led to another in the evening

F G C

And I fell in love again for my last time

(Chorus)

C F

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason

G C

Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime

Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason

G C

That I fell in love again for my last time

C Am

Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio

In a rundown motel room as dark as hell

F G

I felt all the pains of a morning after

F G C

And all alone as far as I could tell

Why she left I have no way of knowing

I guess she caught her train and that's a crime

F G

She took everything I ever wanted

F G C

And I fell in love again for my last time

(Chorus)

C F

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason

G C

Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime

Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason

G C

That I fell in love again for my last time

(Chorus)

C F

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason

G C

Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime

Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason

G C

That I fell in love again for my last time

(Chorus)

C F

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason

G C

Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime

Blame it on Mexico, (FADE) but she's the reason

That I fell in love again for my last time.
