  			Intro: D Em A D 

Verse: 1 
D                           Em          A 
Takes a glass of Tequila to raise up my spirits 
           D                      Em       A 
When I get down I'm drinking them two at a time 
       G            D           Em            G 
'Til I swear that I feel like a poor drowning sailor 
D                      Em     A           D 
Salt on my lips and my tongue - tastes of lime 

 
    G      A       D 
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise 
G             D             Em           A 
Let's put the light back in each other's eyes 
    G        D     A                 G 
And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll 
       Em 
We can take the road down south, babe 
       D  A   D                           G   A 
Get to Me-x-ico 

Verse: 2 
  D                Em      A 
I don't wanna hear any sad stories 
     D                         Em        A 
Hurt glances in mirrors joined in direct lines 
  G            D            Em         G 
I bought her a drink and we made an agreement 
 D                      Em        A                D 
"Don't tell me your sad story and I won't tell you mine." 

 
    G      A       D 
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise 
G             D             Em           A 
Let's put the light back in each other's eyes 
    G        D     A                 G 
And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll 
       Em 
We can take the road down south, babe 
       D  A   D                           G   A 
Get to Me-x-ico 

Verse: 3 
D                     Em             A 
Whatever we say it is just the booze talking 
D                     Em     A 
Skinny dogs howl at a Mexico moon 
G            D            Em              G 
Kids wear no shoes, dusty streets full of dreams 
D                           Em            A           D 
Aim for the dance floor and maybe they'll play a slow tune 

 
    G      A       D 
Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise 
G             D            Em          A 
Turquoise and silver stars hung in the skies 
    G        D     A                 G 
And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll 
       Em 
We can take the road down south, babe 
       D  A   D 
Get to Me-x-ico 
        Em 
We will take the road down south 
       D  A   D 
Get to Me-x-ico
