Intro: E D A E x2

[Chorus]
E                 D     A               E
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
E                                     B
You’re too far away as far as I can see
E            D         A        E
I’m just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
D       A                          E
Oh, Mexico or crazy it’s the same to me

E           A                                    E
I walked half a mile just to call you from a payphone
E                                   B
Every time I tried it you weren’t there
E                       A                          E
I know it’s been a while since your lovin’ man’s been home
         E              B                      E
Well the wheels and the miles aren’t always fair

E                A                         E
The sun burned my neck and I could use a shower
E                                    B
Been livin’ life on far too little sleep
E                 A                                         E
The rain misses this land the way my breath misses your shoulder
E                A                        E
Sometimes what you get away is what you keep

[Chorus]
E          D                    A       E
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
E                                    B
You’re too far away as far as I can see
E              D               A        E
I’m just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
D               A                     E
Oh, Mexico or crazy it’s the same to me

[Solo]

E                            A               E
Rolled the man a dollar, he rode us ‘cross the river
E                                 B
It’s not as wide as the rift ‘tween you and me
E               A                                    E
But there’s a mountain taller and the walls here on the Rio
E               A                     E
It’s hard to climb a hill on bended knee

[Chorus]
E           D                   A       E
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
E                                   B
You’re too far away as far as I can see
E          D            A              E
I’m just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
D               A                      E
Oh, Mexico or crazy it’s the same to me
