Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]South of
the border and busted
[G]Caught by a woman I trusted
Now, don't you [A]call me a fool
It could [G]have happened to you
It's just my luck
It had to [A]happen to me

[Verse 2]
[D]Sweet Carmelita betrayed me
She [G]said, "Take me home, serenade me"
I [A]figured a song could [G]do me no wrong
I didn't know how [A]wrong I could [D]be
[G]Easy money

[Verse 3]
for just one run [D]to Peru
It'll be so [E]easy,
[A]we'll have no trouble gettin' thr[G]ough[A]
Well I almost made [G]it,
except for that one border [D]guard
He opened [E]up my guitar,
[A]hello prison yard
[G]Goodbye easy money,
[A]easy money
[D]

[Verse 4]
The Chiquita must have told
'em my story
'Cause when my [G]eyes finally
focused next morning
Carmel[A]ita had spoken 'bout
gui[G]tars and some coke
And she laughed as
they slapped [A]me [D]in chains

[Verse 5]
I was [D]thrown in cell with a killer
A con[G]vict who coughed
through the night
While [A]I laid awake with
[G]the chills and shakes
Hoping for [A]a file in [D]a cake
[G]Easy money

[Verse 6]
for just one run to Per[D]u
It'll be so [E]easy,
[A]we'll have no trouble gettin' thr[G]ough[A]
Well I almost made [G]it,
except for that one border [D]guard
He opened [E]up my guitar, [A]hello prison [G]yard[A][D][G][A][G]
[A][D][G][A]
[G][A][G][D][E][A]
[G][A][G][D][E][A]
[G][A][D][G][D]
[E]Just [A]to [G]mak[A]e[G][D]
[E]me[A][G]
mad [A]he smashed my guitar
[G]Goodbye, goodbye, [A]goodbye
