[Intro]
D A G D G A D
[Verse]
D A/C# G/B D/A
Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky-tonk bar
D/F# G
And I’m thinking where I’d rather be
D/F# A D
Maybe chasing señoritas down in Old Mexico
E7 A7
Or standing at the edge of the sea
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I had the money I tell you honey
D/F# G
We’d be on that first plane to Spain
Em D/F# Bm
But as long as we’re here the answer is clear
A D
We’ll dance in the New Mexico rain
[Chorus]
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, yeah and I call this my home
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere
D/F# G A7 D A/C# G/B D/A
New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam
[Verse]
D A/C# G/B D/A
The lights of the city keep calling my name
D/F# G
But I have been through that before
D/F# A D
It’s a giant hotel on a long four lane street
E7 A7
It’s got a checkout time on the door
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I had the money I tell you honey
D/F# G
We’d be on that New Delhi train
Em D/F# Bm
But as long as we’re here the answer is clear
A D
We’ll waltz in the New Mexico rain
[Chorus]
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, yeah and I call this my home
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere
D/F# G A7 D A/C# G/B D/A
New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam
[Verse]
D A/C# G/B D/A
I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar
D/F# G
And he sure seems unhappy to me
D/F# A D
He tells me he’s going nowhere and he’s going there fast
E7 A7
And he envies this life that I lead
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I had the money I tell you honey
D/F# G
I’d keep him from going insane
Em D/F# Bm
I know there’s one thing for sure, there just ain’t no cure
A D
Like a walk in the New Mexico rain
[Chorus]
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, yeah it’s hot down in Texas
G D/F# A D
New Mexico R-a-in, I call this my home
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere
D/F# G A7 D
New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam
D A/C# G/B D/A
If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere
D/F# G A7 D
New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam
