[Intro]
E
A  E  B7  E B7
 
 
[Verse 1]
         E
Well I’m finally gettin’ used to the water
                       B7
The way the tarantulas bite
      B7
Those Federales didn’t believe that
                                  E
Only came here to watch the bulls fight
        E
Tell my mother, I need a good lawyer
                             A
Tell my father I’m getting a tan
                      E            C#m
My sleepy siesta down south of the border
   A           B7          E
Is taking more time then I planned.
 
 
[Chorus]
      A        B7     E
Oh Juanita somebody betrayed me
        A         B7           E
They’re giving me ten years to life
A         B7          E    C#m
Juanita I need you to save me
  A            B7          E
I promise I’ll make you my wife.
 
 
[Verse 2]
  E
I got a big house in Milwaukee
                      B7
With a color TV and a pool
  B7
A naugahyde bar and a Cadillac car
                             E
Juanita, they’re waiting for you
        E
Tie the burro up down in the courtyard
                       A
To keep the guard busy tonight
                              E           C#m
When you bring my dinner make sure the tortilla
   A             B7       E
Is filled with a gun or a knife.
 
 
[Chorus]
       A        B7     E
Hey Juanita somebody betrayed me
        A         B7           E
They’re giving me ten years to life
A         B7          E    C#m
Juanita I need you to save me
  A            B7          E
I promise I’ll make you my wife.
 
 
[Verse 3]
E
Juanita, you’ll love Wisconsin
                        B7
Wisconsin is gonna love you
     B7
Yes,   all of Milwaukee speaks Spanish
                                     E
Of course you’re gonna wear American shoes
     E
Lake Michigan tastes like tequila
                                           A
Frijoles, why they grow they grow there on trees
                         E            C#m
You can say adios to the pigs and the goats
          A            B7            E
If you’ll just do this one thing for me.
 
 
[Chorus]
       A        B7     E
But Juanita somebody betrayed me
        A         B7           E
They’re giving me ten years to life
A         B7          E    C#m
Juanita I need you to save me
  A            B7          E
I promise I’ll make you my wife.
 
 
[Outro]
A           E
  (Juanita,   I-I swear it was all a mistake)
B7                             E
  (You see, I was drowning out there in the ocean)
                A
(And I saw this bale coming by man so I grabbed it)
       E                             B7
(And I climbed up on top of it and I found this stick)
       E
(And I rowed myself into shore)
                          A
(and when I got there the border patrol was waiting for me at the…)
E                             B7
  (I didn’t know what it was,   I promise you)
E                                            A
  (If you’ll just marry me so I can become a citizen of Mexico)
                    E
(I’d take you to Milwaukee, you can meet all my friends)
                B7                                E
(They got these big shiny motorcycles and you can ride on the back of ‘em with 'em)
A          E
  (Really,   Juanita would I lie to you?)
