That's Why God Made Mexico

• G

 
Intro: G  D  Am7 C 
 
G            D             F           C 
Margie said Roy you ain't listening to me 
G            D                 F   C   G 
And I got a whole lot more to say 
          D                     F                 C 
Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys 
D#                     D                 G 
And she ain't seen or heard from him to this day 
 

G                        C     D  G 
And that's why God made Mexico 
G                     C      D  Em 
A place where we can lay low 
         G                C            C+  
And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow 
         G             G/Bb 
And the warm wind blows 
Am7         D        G 
That's why God made Mexico 
 
 
G                D                 F              C 
And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night half past six 
G                       D                 F   C   G 
Cause that's when he'd roll through that door 
               D                F                 C 
Cause sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips 
D#         D                 G 
She don't fix him dinner no more 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
 
Em                        A 
Cause life is sweet in a border town 
D                      B 
You learn to let your hair down 
         C          G/B   Am7              D            G    B 
And you don't make trouble,  you learn to dance the fandango 
Em                              A 
You change your name, and you change your face 
D                       B 
Get used to beans, and chili paste 
         C        G/B      Am7      D       G     
And you learn to live and love life in the slow lane 
 
 
Last Chorus: 
G                        C     D  G 
And that's why God made Mexico 
G                     C      D  Em 
A place where we can lay low 
        G           C       C+  
Maybe Monterrey or Acapulco 
              G             G/Bb 
Anywhere the warm winds blow,   don't ya know 
Am7         D        Bm Em Am7 D 
That's why God made Mexico--o 
   (no chord) 
That's why God made...made Mexico 
 
G  D  F  G
