Verse 1:
  Em          G
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
     Em                G
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
  Em               C/G       Em
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
   C/G       Em
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico

Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made
  Em               C/G         Em
We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine

In that crystal thought time in Mexico

Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night

Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight

Valentino vamp in Mexico
