Dwight Yoakam - Carmelita Chords

Carmelita  - Dwight Yoakam

   C
1) I hear mariachi static on my radio 
 	  	  	  	    G7
   And the tubes they glow in the dark
   
   And I'm there with you and enzenada
 	  	  	    C
   And I'm here in echo park

 	 C      F 	  	  	 C 	  	   F
Chorus: Carmelita, hold me tighter, I think I'm sinking down
 	  	  C 	  	      G7 	  	  	 
        And I'm all strung out on heroin, 
                              C
        On the outskirts of town

2) 	 Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
 	 And I went to meet my man
 	 He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
 	 At the pioneer chicken stand

3) 	 Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitaire
 	 With my pearl handled deck
 	 The county won't give me no more methadone
 	 And they cut off my welfare check
