C         C/B                        Am                         F
  Got no place to go, but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico.
            C                    C/B                    Am                            F
She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin and if I bring a little music I could fit right in
C            C/B                        Am                         F
   We've got airplane rides, we've got California drowning out the window side

[Chorus]
   C         F          Am              G
I may take a holiday in Spain, leave my wings behind me
C            C/B              Am            F
   Drink my worries down the drain and fly away to somewhere

If you dress me up in pink and white we may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
C          C/B                    Am                              F
  She's my angel, she's a little better than the one that used to be with me
          C          C/B                      Am                            F
Cause she   liked to scream at me man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree

   Everybody's gone, they left the television screaming that the radio's on
C               C/B                      Am                      F

Or we could    simply pack our bags and catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag
[Chorus]
         C      F             Am           G
I may... take a holiday in Spain, leave my wings behind me
