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
