[Verse 1]
Db Gb
I was hangin' 'round in Brooklyn town with a settledowntype
Db
girl
Ab7
Her daddy was a diplomat who thought he ruled the world
Db
And he was wellconnected,
Gb Gbm
he helped me connect the dots
Db Bbm
He paid me off to leave,
Ab7 Db
and let's just say he paid a lot
[Chorus]
Db Bbm Gb
I guess it's MEXICO for me
Db Ab7
Laid up in the shade of a coconut tree
Db
And love said, Go to Hell,
Db7/B Gb/Bb Gbm
but there's somewhere I'd rather be
Db Gb Ab7 Db
So it's MEXICO for me
[Verse 2]
Db
So I took her daddy's money,
Gb Db
but I stopped in Vegas first
Ab7
I met a dancer on the strip and fell in love with her
Db
We almost tied the knot when Elvis asked,
Gb Gbm
Any objections?
Db Bbm Ab7 Db
Her mobster boyfriend busted in with an AKfourty seven
[Chorus]
Db Bbm Gb
Guess it's MEXICO for me
Db Ab7
Laid up in the shade of a coconut tree
Db
And love said, Go to Hell,
Db7/B Gb/Bb Gbm
but there's somewhere I'd rather be
Db Gb Ab7 Db
So it's MEXICO for me

[Verse 3]
Ab7 Db Db
I made it south of El Paso,
Gb Db
met a businesswoman there
Ab7
I knew that she was rich, but how,
I didn't care
Db
When the cops kicked in the door,
Gb Gbm
they found a suitcase of cocaine
Db Bbm
She took off with the Federale,
Ab7 Db
and I took all the blame
[Chorus]
Db Bbm Gb
I guess it's MEXICO for me
Db
From this jail cell,
Ab7
I can't see one coconut tree
Db
And love said, Go to Hell,
Db7/B Gb/Bb Gbm
and now I can't ever leave
Db Gb Ab7 Db
So it's MEXICO for me
