Mexico Chords

(ver. 1)
James Taylor
[Intro]
D A D Bm A Em Bm C G  (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
         G    D          A         G
Way down here you need a reason to move
G       D                 A         G
Feel a fool running your stateside games
G         D                A      G           E
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
 
[Chorus]
C#m     B   A
Oh,     Mexico
   E         C#m      B           A
It sounds so simple I just got to go
E            C#m      B         A
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
G          D/F#       E
Guess I'll have to go now
 
[Verse 2]
G     D             A      G
"Americano" got the sleepy eye
        G             D      A           G
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
G           D              A       G    E
Sleepy "Senorita" with the eyes on fire
 
[Chorus]
C#m     B   A
Oh,     Mexico
   E         C#m            B           A
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
E         C#m            B            A
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
G         D/F#       E
Make everything all right
 
[Solo Interlude]
Bm7 F#m7 E  (x2)
 
[Verse 3]
G      D              A           G
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
    G          D                  A           G
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
    G           D             A          G               E
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard
 
[Chorus]
C#m         B   A
Oh, down in Mexico
  E            C#m       B            A
I never really been so I don't really know
E  C#m  B   A
Oh,     Mexico
  G          D/F#       E
I guess I'll have to say
 
C#m     B   A
Oh,     Mexico
  E          C#m            B            A
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
E  C#m  B     A
Oh,       Mexico
  G     D/F#               E
I guess I'll have to go now
 
[Outro]
C#m      B    A   E
Talking about Mexico
C#m  B  A   E
Oh,     Mexico
C#m  B  A   E
Oh,     Mexico
C#m  B  A   E
Oh,     Mexico
C#m  B  A   E
Oh,     Mexico. . .
