Into

V 1

G                                                                      

I woke at noon with a fog in my head—

A                    

My eyes were swollen..blood shot red

D                                                                       G

Smell of tequila and perfume in my bed—

 G

I didn’t get home till the morning light

  A

 Must have been one heckuva night

 D                                                                       G

Moonlight and a woman hanging on my arm

V2

  G

 She was a sight to see maybe 23

  A

With deep dark eyes coming on to me

  D                                                   G

I bought her a drink and we walked by the sea

   G

 Strolled on the beach in the moonlight

    A

Cuddled in the sand till mornings light

    D                                                            G

An empty bottle of Tequila in the sand

Chorus

 G                                                                                   A                   

So don’t mix Tequila with a pretty Señorita when in Old Mexico

           D                                                           G

Cause too many Margaritas gets you in trouble oh no-no

 G                                                                                                                   

While the Mariachi played her body swayed-

 A                                            D       

her latin smile and tan—She whispered  let’s get outta here- 

                          A    D                                G

And that was more—than I could stand

Bridge

 Bb                                                                                                      C

She had a tattoo of the Cisco Kid and Pancho riding the range 

Bb                                                                   C                                    D/D7/D

I didn’t ask any questions then—But now it seems kinda strange

Guitar/paino solo

V3

 G

I don’t remember when she walked away

 A

I didn’t ask her name and she didn’t say

   D                                                G

But I will never forget that time and place

  G

She was a barefoot beauty kissed by the sun

A

In life’s there’s regrets but this ain’t one

 D                                                         G

Gotta find my way back to Mexico

Chorus

 G                                                                                            A                   

So don’t mix Tequila with a pretty Señorita when in Old Mexico

           D                                                           G

Cause too many Margaritas gets you in trouble oh no-no

 G                                                                                                                         

While the Mariachi played her body swayed-

         A                                   D

her latin smile and tan-She whispered  let’s get outta here-

                           A  D                                 G

And that was more—than I could stand

                              A  D                                 G

And that was more—than I could stand

I wonder if there is a  Margarita somewhere  thinking of me
