I clocked out of work one day 
                        G 
went to the boss-man to get my pay 
 
He said, "Hey, vato, you run this place- 
                  C 
and you deserve a raise." 
 
I said, "Hey, Jefe, that's damn good news- 
                   G 
Some more dinero I sure could use." 
 
He said, "I can raise you a buck or two- 
                 G 
that's all I can do."

It isn't the same 
                   F 
If you've ever had nothin'- 
                    C    F 
Not a thing to your name 
 
You'd like what you got 
                   G 
You'd think it's a lot

So, I went to a border town 
                   G 
Started throwin my paycheck around 
 
Met a girl with a beautiful face 
                    C 
She came back to my place 
                       C 
I said, "Querita, this is my home- 
                  G 
I realize it's no Astrodome- 
 
A Winnebago set up on blocks. 
                    C 
But it's the best I got." 
 
(and she said....)

Every once in a while, it's better than ever, 
                C          F 
And better than nothin' 
                                                G 
It's good enough for a smile, good enough to go on-
