INTRO: D   C-G   C-D  (3x)

                                        D
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
         G                                              D
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
                    Em
I was looking for a lady
                   D      C-G   C-D   C-G
Someone to have my baby


                                 D
So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane
  G                                     D
I sat me down next to your all American dame
                                              Em
Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity"
                                                   D      
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City


CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                                                     D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
             G     
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                                               D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)


G                                                         D
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list
       G                                        D
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist?
                            Em
They said my papers were in order
                                                          D      
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border


CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                                                     D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
             G     
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                                               D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

                                              D
Took the first South bound across the Rio and down
G                                      D
Found a little place in a small Mexico town
               Em
Just me and my lady
                    D      
Now she's having my baby


CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
                                                     D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
             G     
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                                               D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

Every morning and every night to get you out of your head

(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
             G     
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high
                                                               D
