Carmelita - GG Allin
From the soundtrack of Hated
[Verse 1]
I hear Emariachi static on my radio
and the tubes they glow in the B7dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
and I'm here in Echo EPark
[Chorus]
CarmeAlita, hold me tighter
I Ethink I'm sinking Adown
And I'm Eall strung-out on B7heroin
on the outskirts of Etown
[Verse 2]
Well, I Epawned my Smith and Wesson
and I went to meet my B7man
He hangs out down at Alvarado Street
at the county chicken Estand
[Chorus]
CarmeAlita, hold me tighter
I Ethink I'm sinking Adown
And I'm Eall strung-out on B7heroin
on the outskirts of Etown
(Instrumental)
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm Esittin' here playin' Russian roulette
with my pearl handled B7gun
The county won't give me any more methadone
and they cut off your welfare Echeck
[Chorus]
CarmeAlita, hold me tighter
I Ethink I'm sinking Adown
And I'm Eall strung-out on B7heroin
on the outskirts of Etown
CarmeAlita, hold me tighter
I Ethink I'm sinking Adown
And I'm Eall strung-out on B7heroin
on the outskirts of Etown

Carmelita - GG Allin

From the soundtrack of Hated

[Verse 1]

I hear mariachi static on my radio

and the tubes they glow in the dark

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

and I'm here in Echo Park

[Chorus]

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung-out on heroin

on the outskirts of town

[Verse 2]

Well, I pawned my Smith and Wesson

and I went to meet my man

He hangs out down at Alvarado Street

at the county chicken stand

[Chorus]

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung-out on heroin

on the outskirts of town

(Instrumental)

[Verse 3]

Well, I'm sittin' here playin' Russian roulette

with my pearl handled gun

The county won't give me any more methadone

and they cut off your welfare check

[Chorus]

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung-out on heroin

on the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung-out on heroin

on the outskirts of town
