G Am D G G
G D
It was 3 a.m. got a call from my friends in Tijuana
G
They said we're down in Mexico, man, you outta go hop a plane, if you wanna
G7 C B7 Am
We been soakin' up the sun here havin' fun, hangin' out on the beach and drinkin'
D G
As I packed my bags, couldn't help but laugh as I got to thinkin'
[Chorus]
G G7 C
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
G C
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
Em D G Am D C
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
G D G G
Can you really be down in Mexico?
[Instrumental]
G D G G
G D
So here I am, surrounded by sand and clear water
G
Watchin' the sunshine makin' tan lines, don't know which is hotter
G7 C B7 Am
Mariachi bands don't play the blues and, that proves it's the only place
D G
That you can have a broken heart and a smile on your face
[Chorus]
G G7 C
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
G C
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
Em D G Am D C
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
G D G
Can you really be down in Mexico?
[Outro]

Oh, from Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
G D G
Can you really be down in Mexico?
D G G D G
