Carmelita (Acoustic version)

I hear mariachi static on my radio

B7

And the tubes, they glow in the dark

 

And I'm there with you in Ensenada

E

And I'm here in echo park

 

A

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung out on heroin

E

On the outskirts of town

 

E

Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

B7

And I went to meet my man

 

He hangs out down on ElDorado Street

E

At the county chicken stand

 

A

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung out on heroin

E

On the outskirts of town

 

E

Well I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette

B7

With my pearl handled gun

 

The county won't give me any more Methadone

E

And they cut off your welfare check

 

A

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung out on heroin

E

On the outskirts of town

 

A

Carmelita, hold me tighter

E A

I think I'm sinking down

E B7

And I'm all strung out on heroin

E

On the outskirts of town
