Mexico (James Taylor)

D         A  D  Bm     A       Em           Bm C    G

           G     D              A       G
  Way down here-   you need a reason to move
         G      D                A      G
  Feel a fool-   running your stateside games
            G     D           A       G
  Lose your load-  leave your mind behind Baby James
E   C#m    B   A       E         C#m         B           A
  Whoa-    Mexico-  it sounds so simple I've just got to go
  E        C#m      B         A
  Sun's so hot I forgot to go home
  G          D/F#         E
  Guess I'll have to go now...

  Americano got the sleepy eye
  But his body's still shaking like a live wire
  Sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire
  Whoa Mexico, you sound so sweet with the sun sinking low
  Moon's so bright, like to light up the night
  Make everything all right...

  Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
  The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
  She gets a long letter - sends back a postcard, "Times are hard"
  Whoa, down in Mexico, I've never really been, so I don't really know
  E    C#m      B   A     G         D/F#      E
  Whoa----------Mexico,   Guess I'll have to go down...

  E  C#m      B   A    E  C#m      B   A ....
