Chorus:
C           G   F   G      FI'm down in Mexico, had to go,
C        B       CWon't be home no more
               G      F       G                  FI want mom and dad to know, I miss and love them so
C                 G           CThough I'll never see them anymore.

C                      F          G              C   The day that I turned twenty one I could hardly wait
                   F               G                 C        To say goodbye to mom and dad and shake the hand of fate
                  F                 G                C        Fate was with me from the start, until that fateful day
                   F                   G              C       A big man he took my sweetheart and I took his life away.

Chorus

I stood and watched the man as he fell
And then I heard the policemen's whistle blow
And when I thought about that prison cell
I thought about old Mexico.
