(My first addition to Ultimate-Guitar Tab) Chords in brief: Intro: E F G F E x4 Verse: A F#m E x6 D Bm D Bm D E A F#m E Song in more detail: Firstly, this is just an acoustic approximation of the song. Just the best way that I have found to play it on a solo acoustic guitar. There are some 2nd guitar bits in the second verse that are lovely and if you have a loop recorder you might fancy going off on them whilst the melody continues, but I don't have a loop recorder so I didn't bother working them out. The end bit, where they go off on one about enchiladas, is a bit weird and ends with a fadeout which doesn't really work on a solo acoustic. I made up my own way of playing it. Totally different, but it works much better in the absence of production. Please remember: this is never going to sound exactly like the recording but it's the best way I've found to play it on a solo acoustic. Play around with it, make it your own interpretation. Standard tuning. INTRO: Use your thumb to strum rapidly, but softly, up and down to create a tremulo effect. Slide your left hand between the chords for the intro. Sounds crazy, but I prefer it without barring the chords. E F G F E (repeat x4) e---0---0---0---0---0----------| B---0---0---0---0---0----------| G---1---2---4---2---1----------| D---2---3---5---3---2----------| A---2---3---5---3---2----------| E---0---0---0---0---0-0--0-0-0-| Whilst strumming the E you might like to use your left hand thumb to play the low e-string (it kinda subsititutes for that bass/thump noise you can hear in the original recording). VERSE: Play the "A" as the higher bar chord and, just before you transfer to the F#m, use your little finger to fret on and off the high e-string 7th fret (you'll work it out). A F#m E e---5---7-7--5--2----0-------| B---5-----------2----0-------| G---6-----------2----1-------| D---7-----------4----2-------| A---7-----------4----2-------| E---5-----------2----0-------| A F#m E A F#m E Take me down to where you hide, A F#m E A F#m E Lay me down, lay me down inside, A F#m E A F#m E What use now? Roll back this Pacific tide. D Bm Tijuana Lady where did you go? Yeah, D Bm I been chasing you around ol' Mejico, yeah, D E A Gonna find my way back to San Diego. F#m E A F#m E Baby where'd you hide?

D E A F#m E A F#m E I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho INSTRUMENTAL BIT (I play it like as follows but you can just leave it out for simplicity) A C#/C#m Bm E A F#/F#m (on 9th fret) E D Bm E Tijuana Lady where did you go? yeah well I... D Bm I heard you lost your last sombrero, D Bm E Tijuana Lady which way'd'you flow? I'm a.. D E A El Mariachi Desperado, F#m E Tell me where'd you hide, A F#m E Tell me where'd you hide.
