[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
We went one [C]day
About a month [G]ago (a-ha-ha)
To have a little [D]fun (a-ha)
In [G]Mexico
We ended [C]up
In a gambling [G]spot (oh yeah) a-ha-ha
Where the liquor [D]flow-owed
And And the dice were hot
[G]So here we

[Verse 2]
[C]are
In the [G]Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no [D]friends
To go our [G]bail
So here we'll [C]stay
'Cause we can't [G]pay
Just send our [D]mail
To the [G]Tijuana Jail

[Verse 3]
I was shootin' [C]dice,
Rakin' in [D]the [G]dough (long green)
And [Gm]then I [D]heard
The whistle [G]blow
We started to [C]run
When a man in [G]blue
Said, Señor, come [D]with me
'Cause I want you
So here [G]we

[Verse 4]
[C]are
In the [G]Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no [D]friends
To go our [G]bail
So here we'll [C]stay
'Cause we can't [G]pay
Just send our [D]mail
To the Tijuana[G]Jail

[Verse 5]
Just five hundred [C]dollars
And they'll set us [G]free
I couldn't raise a [D]penny
If ya threatened [G]me
I know five [C]hundred
Don't sound like [G]much
But just [D]try to find
Somebody to touch
[G]So here we

[Verse 6]
[C]are
In the [G]Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no [D]friends
To go our [G]bail
So here we'll [C]stay
'Cause we can't [G]pay
Just send our [D]mail
To the Tijuana Jail
[G]So here we

[Verse 7]
[C]are
In the [G]Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no [D]friends
To go our [G]bail
So here we'll [C]stay
'Cause we can't [G]pay
Just send our [D]mail
To the Tijuana Jail
