       G                                    D
It was 3 a.m. got a call from my friends in Tijuana
                                                  G
They said we're down in Mexico, man, you outta go hop a plane, if you wanna
                           G7                       C          B7        Am
We been soakin' up the sun here havin' fun, hangin' out on the beach and drinkin'
     D                                            G
As I packed my bags, couldn't help but laugh as I got to thinkin'

[Chorus]
                  G     G7       C
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
           G                                                        C
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
     Em           D                         G       Am    D   C
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
                  G    D          G G
Can you really be down in Mexico? 

[Instrumental]
G   D   G   G

   G                                 D
So here I am, surrounded by sand and clear water
                                        G
Watchin' the sunshine makin' tan lines, don't know which is hotter
                     G7                       C               B7   Am
Mariachi bands don't play the blues and, that proves it's the only place
     D                                          G
That you can have a broken heart and a smile on your face

[Chorus]
                  G     G7       C
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
           G                                                        C
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
     Em           D                         G       Am    D   C
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
                  G    D          G
Can you really be down in Mexico?

[Outro]
         Em           D                         G       Am    D   C
Oh, from Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
                  G    D          G
Can you really be down in Mexico?
                       D          G G D G
Can you really be down in Mexico?
