[Intro]
D D/C# D/B A
D D/C# D/B A
D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A
I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind.
Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind.
Am7 D Am7 D
And the border meant freedom, a new life, romance,
Am7 D G D/F# Em D
And that's why I thought I should go,
Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico.
D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A
My first night in Juarez, lost all the money I had.
Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad.
Am7 D Am7 D
But I must keep on runnin'; it's too late to turn back:
Am7 D G D/F# Em D
I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told.
Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A
Yeah, an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico.
D D/C# D/B A Em A Em A
Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say,
Em A Em A D D/C# D/B A
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half-loaded with hay.
Am7 D Am7 D
Down through Durango,Palima,Palmira,
Am7 D G D/F# Em D
Then in the Manzanio,
Em A Em A D A Bb Bb
Where I slept IN THE SUNSHINE on the seashores of old Mexico.

After one long siesta, I came wide awake in the night.

I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight.
Bbm Eb Bbm Eb
My new-found companion, one young senorita,
Bbm Eb Ab Eb/G Fm Bb
Who offered a broken hello,
Fm Bb Fm Bb Eb Bb B B
To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico.

E E/Eb E/Db B F#m B F#m B
She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return,
F#m B F#m B E E/Eb E/Db B
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern.
Bm7 E Bm7 E
'Cause she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo:
Bm7 E A E/Ab F#m E
That's all I needed to know.
F#m B F#m B E E/Eb E/Db B
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.
Bm7 E Bm7 E
Yeah, she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo:

That's all I needed to know, ha, ha.

Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.
