Intro: G D Am7 C
G D F C
Margie said Roy you ain't listening to me
G D F C G
And I got a whole lot more to say
D F C
Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys
D# D G
And she ain't seen or heard from him to this day
G C D G
And that's why God made Mexico
G C D Em
A place where we can lay low
G C C+
And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow
G G/Bb
And the warm wind blows
Am7 D G
That's why God made Mexico
G D F C
And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night half past six
G D F C G
Cause that's when he'd roll through that door
D F C
Cause sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips
D# D G
She don't fix him dinner no more
REPEAT CHORUS
Em A
Cause life is sweet in a border town
D B
You learn to let your hair down
C G/B Am7 D G B
And you don't make trouble, you learn to dance the fandango
Em A
You change your name, and you change your face
D B
Get used to beans, and chili paste
C G/B Am7 D G
And you learn to live and love life in the slow lane
Last Chorus:
G C D G
And that's why God made Mexico
G C D Em
A place where we can lay low
G C C+
Maybe Monterrey or Acapulco
G G/Bb
Anywhere the warm winds blow, don't ya know
Am7 D Bm Em Am7 D
That's why God made Mexico--o
(no chord)
That's why God made...made Mexico
