E A
Here comes another song about Mexico
C#m
I just can't help myself
B
I lost my old lady

Got my lures, got my bobbers, now I'm gonna go
E
Got off in the wrong direction
A
Found a hooker and lost my erection
C#m B
So I had to lie in the letter to the boys back home

A
Well the good guys and the bad guys
E B
Well they never work past noon around here
A F#m
They sit side to side in cantinas, talk to senoritas
E
And drink warm beer

I had the opportunity to see Roger Clyne do a show with his drummer at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. The started the show with this song, and since there was only two of them, they used gazoos to cover the part of the mariachi band. Incredible idea, incredible show.
