[Intro 1]
[B][C][A][B][A]
[Am][A][Am][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Left
my wallet in El Segun[Am]do
Left my [A]wallet in El Segundo
[Am]Left my wallet in El [A]Segundo
[Am]I gotta ge[A]t, I got-got ta ta get it

[Verse 2]
[A]I left my wallet in El Segun[Am]do
Left my wallet in El Segun[A]do
Left my wallet in [Am]El Segundo
[C]I gotta g[G]et, I got-got t[A]a ta get it

[Verse 3]
My mother went [Am]away
for a month-long trip
trip
[A]Her [Am]and some friends on
an [A]ocean-liner ship
ship
She made a big mistake by [Am]leaving me home
I had to roam so I picked
up the [A]phone
Dialed Ali up [Am]to see what
was going [A]down
Told him I pick him up so
[Am]we could drive [A]around
Took the Dodge Dart, [Am]a '74[A]
My mother left a yard but
[Am]I needed one [A]more
Shaheed had me covered with
a hundred greenbacks
So we left Brooklyn and
we made big tracks
[Am]Drove down the Belt,
got on the Con[A]duit
Came to a toll,
we paid and went through it
[Am]Had no destina[A]tion, we was on a quest
Ali laid in the back so he could get rest
Drove down the road for
two-days-and-a-half
[Am]The The The The The sun had
just risen on a [A]dusty path
Just then a figure had [Am]caught my [A]eye
A man with a sombrero
who was four feet high
I pulled over to ask were we was [Am]at
His index finger [A]he tipped up his hat
"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro
If you need directions,
[Am]I'll tell you pron[A]to"
Needed [Am]civiliza[A]tion,
some sort of reservation
He said a mile [Am]south,
there's a fast food [A]station
Thanks, senor, as I start up the motor
Ali said, "Damn, tip,
why you drive so far for?"

[Verse 4]
(Well describe [A]to me what

[Verse 5]
the wallet looks like)
[A]Anyway a gas station we passed
We got gas and went on to get grub
It was a nice little pub in
the middle of nowhere
Anywhere would have been [Am]better
[A]I o[Am]rdered enchiladas and I ate 'em
Ali had the [A]fruit punch
[Am]When we fini[A]shed we thought
for ways to get back
I had a hunch
[Am]Ali [A]said, "Pay for lunch"
So I did it
Pulled out the [Am]wallet and I [A]saw
this wicked beautiful lady
She was a waitress there
Put the wallet down and stared and stared
To put me back into reality,
here's Shaheed
"Yo, Tip, man,
you got what you need?"
I checked for keys and started to step

[Verse 6]
What do you know, my wallet I forget
[A]Yo, it was a brown wallet,
it had props num[B]bers
[A]Had my jimmy [B]hats I got [A]to get it man

[Verse 7]
[Am]Lord, have mer[A]cy
The heat got hotter, Ali stars to curse me
I fell bad but he makes me feel
badder
Chit-chit-chatter,
car car car stars to scatter
Breaking on out,
we was Northeast bound
Jettin' [Am]on down at the speed of sound
Three days [A]coming and [Am]three more going
We get back and there was
no slack
[A]490 Madison, we're here, Sha
He said, "All right, Tip,
see you tomorrow"
Thinking about the past
week, the last week
Hands go in my pock[Am]et,
I [A]can't speak
Hopped in the car and
torpe'ed to the shack
Of Shaheed, "we gotta go
back" when he said
[Am]"Why?" I said, "we gotta [A]go
Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"
[Am]

[Verse 8]
[A]Yeah, I left my wal[Am] let in El Segundo
Left my wallet in El Segundo
Left my [A]wallet in El Segun[Am]do
I gotta get, I got-got ta ta [A]get it

[Verse 9]
[Am]Left my wallet in [A]El Segun[Am]do
Left my wallet in El Segundo
[A]Left my wallet in [Am]El Segundo[D]
[Am]Come on let'[Am]s[A][A][Am]
[A]go[Am]
