I hear mariachi static on the radio,
                               G7
and the tubes they glow in the dark.

And I'm there with her in Ensenada,
                      C
when I'm here in Echo Park

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

         C
Well I'm sitting here playing solitaire,
                      G7
with my pearl handled deck.

The county won't give me no more methadone,
                              C
and they cut off your welfare check.

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.

Well I pawned my Smith Corona,
                      G7
and I went to meet my man.

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street,
                       C
