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
