T Mac
 
 
[Verse]
D                        
Me and some buddies were 
G
working down around Lubbock
 D                       A
Looking for something to do
 D                G              
Somebody had the bright idea to 
D          A         D
cross the border and have us a few 
 
    D                  
It all started off with 
G
some cold Corona's
 D                 A
Tequila, salt and lime
 D                   G
Four senoritas in an El Camino
 D         A           D
Wanted to have a good time (wooh)
 
 
[Chorus]
         G                   
You can say that you've been 
D
all around the world
     G                      A
You gotta lotta stories to tell
 
               Bm          A
But I bet you next months rent
      G            D
That you've never spent
   G          A       D
A weekend in Mexican jail
 
       G               D
Aye ye yi yi yi if we can't make bail
        A                  D
It's a weekend in Mexican jail 
(ah ha rrrowwl)
 
 
[Verse]
    D                G
We all piled in and left the Cantina
   D                     A
Behind us in a cloud of dust
         D             
She was driving so fast 
G
we didn't even notice
 D           A        D
Blue lights chasing us
 
         D                  
Then he showed me the badge,  
G
said something in Spanish 
    D                      A
Whatever it was it wasn't good
 
     D                         G
And all I remember were those handcuffs clicking
        D         A     D
And my face on a dusty hood
 
 
[Chorus]
         G                  
You can say that you've been 
D
all around the world
     G                      A
You gotta lotta stories to tell
 
               Bm          A
But I bet you next months rent
      G            D
That you've never spent
   G          A       D
A weekend in Mexican jail
 
       G           
Aye ye yi yi yi if 
D
we can't make bail
        A                    D
It's a weekend in a Mexican jail

G
warm in pictures
        D                      A
But believe me the nights get cold
           D                      
But if you go don't run off with a 
G
Federale's daughter
            D         A          D
'Cause you might not make it home
 
         D        A    D
Yeah, unfortunately I know
 
I can vouch for that
