Album: Right Side Up (1976)
 
[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
 
[Chorus]
    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."
 
[Chorus]
    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
 
[Chorus]
    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
