Mexican Blackbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If you're down in Acuna and
[Cm]you ain't up to [Bb]being alone
[G]don[C]'t spend all your money on
just any [Bb]honey that's grown.
[G]Go find the Mex[D]ican blackbird and
[C]send all your [Bb]troubles back home.

[Verse 2]
[G][D][F][G]
They all
call her her "puta" 'cause
[C]no one really [Bb]knows her name.
[G]She wor[C]ks the[Cm] cantina,[C]
dancin' and [Bb]a-lovin's her trade.
[G]Her mam[D]a was Mez'can and her dad[C]dy
was the [Bb]ace of spades.

[Verse 3]
[G]Oh, let's drive that old
[D]Chrysler down to [F]Mexico, [F#]boy.[C]
Said, keep your hands
on the wheel there.
[F]Oh,[C] it sure is fine, ain't it?
[G]Now[F], y[C]a got it! Hand me another
one of them brews from back there.

[Interlude 1]
Oh, this is gonna [F]be so[Bb][F]
[Bb][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[A]goo[D]d.

[Verse 5]
[G][D][F][G]
Mm, she's
hot as a pepper
but [C]smooth as a [Bb]Mexican brew.
[G]So hea[C]d for the border and
put in an [Bb]order or two.
[G]The[D] wings of the blackbird will
[C]spr[Bb]ead like an eagle for you.

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh,[D] one more t[F]ime,[F#][C]
can you roll me
[F]another Bull Durham, [C]please?
[G]Can't you[A] do [D]it with
[G]one[C] hand,[G]
