Intro: F C 

F                                 
I’ll be the right hand 
F7                               C 
You’ll be the left hand 
F                                 
You and me we make 
 F7                 C 
A mariachi band 

F                                
Standing on the corner 
 F7                         C 
Waiting for the light 
F 
When you’re around I 
 F7                       C 
Always feel alright 

F 
From the Painted Desert 
 F7                          C 
Over to Paris, France 
F 
I followed your pointed 
F7                           C 
Finger with my glance 

F 
And I’ve seen so much 
 F7                            C 
More than I would see 
F                         Dm         C 
If it was just me, just me 
F                      Dm        C 
If it was just me, just me 

Our first rehearsal 
Was under a redwood tree 
And you brought lyrics and you 
Handed them to me 

And you said here you are 
The only one who can sing this 
And I felt kissed and I wondered 
If it was just me, just me 
If it was just me, just me 

Let’s get this party started 
Let’s squeeze the lime 
The mariachi life 
Is really more than fine 

You know I’ll meet you 
You know I’ll be flyin’ blind 
F                          Em    G 
At the appointed corner 
                                Dm 
At the appointed time 
F                                   Em  G 
At the appointed corner 
                              Dm       C 
At the appointed time 
F                                      Dm    C 
What if it was just me, just me? 

F        Am C
