INTRO: E 
 
E                              A 
There's a boy named Billy from up there in Virgini 
   E                                   B7 
He makes that lightnin' holler in them hills 
E                       A 
He's got a recipe handed down from his pappy 
      E           B7            E 
And a shiny fifty gallon copper still 
 
 
There's a boy named Jose, makes the best guacamole 
And the hottest hot tamales in the west 
He knows how to grow habaneros 
And he plays in mariacha band 
 
 
CHORUS: 
               E 
I'll trade you 20 margaritas for your moonshine 
                                      B7 
'Cause I like to have a party all the time 
               E                        A 
I'll trade you 20 margaritas for your moonshine 
         E                   B7               E 
'Cause I hear that stuff can really blow your mind 
 
 
When Jose met Billay he was tequila crazy 
In a honky tonk gettin' cowboy drunk on a moonlit starry night 
Jose said "Billay we oughta have us a partay 
And invite all them senoritas and just watch that full moon shine" 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
SOLO: E A E B7 E A E B7 E 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
    A                 B                 E 
Now Jose and Billay became the best of buddays 
    A                      E 
And raised a lot of hell around the world 
            A                                 B           C#m 
But they'll never drink and drive 'cause they wanna stay alive 
         F#7                      B    
And have time to kiss all the lovely girls 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
A      E                   B7               A      
  Oh I hear that stuff can really blow your mind 
A    B7   E     B7 E 
Blow your mind
