[Verse 1]
N.C. G5 D A A4 A G
Way down here you need a reason to move
G5 D A A4 A G
Feel a fool running your stateside games
G5 D A A4 A G
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Ooooh, Mexico
E C#m B A
It sounds so simple I just got to go
E C#m B A
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
G D/F# E E9sus E7sus E
Guess I'll have to go now
[Verse 2]
* G5 D A A4 A G
Americano got the sleepy eye
G5 D A A4 A G
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
G5 D A A4 A G
Sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Ooooh, Mexico
E C#m B A
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
E C#m B A
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
G D/F# E
Make everything all right

[Verse 3]
* G5 D A A4 A G
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
G5 D A A4 A G
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
G5 D A A4 A G
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard
[Chorus]
E C#m B A
Ooooh, down in Mexico
E C#m B A
I never really been so I don't really know
E C#m B A
Ooooh, Mexico
G D/F#
I guess I'll have to go
E C#m B A
Ooooh, Mexico
E C#m B A
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
E C#m B A
Ooooh, Mexico
G A E E9sus E7sus E
I guess I'll have to go now
[Outro]
** C#m B A E
Talking about Mexico
** C#m B A E
In a honky tonk down in Mexico
** C#m B A E
Ooooh, Mexico (repeat with fade out)

I thought this version got corrected?? The chord at the end of the verse before the chorus is E, not G. The chorus starts with a slide up from E to C#m. The outro chords are C#m B A E over and over - not E C#m B A. If these changes are made then this is the best version - 5 stars.
