DD/C#D/BAEmAEmA My first night in Juarez, lost all the money I had. EmAEmADD/C#D/BA One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad. Am7DAm7D But I must keep on runnin'; it's too late to turn back: Am7DGD/F#EmD I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told. EmAEmADD/C#D/BA Yeah, an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico.
