Intro: G  D  Am7 C

G            D             F           C
Margie said Roy you ain't listening to me
G            D                 F   C   G
And I got a whole lot more to say
          D                     F                 C
Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys
Eb                     D                 G
And she ain't seen or heard from him to this day


Chorus:
G                        C     D  G
And that's why God made Mexico
G                     C      D  Em
A place where we can lay low
         G                C            C+ 
And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow
         G             G/Bb
And the warm wind blows
Am7         D        G
That's why God made Mexico


G                D                 F              C
And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night half past six
G                       D                 F   C   G
Cause that's when he'd roll through that door
               D                F                 C
Cause sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips
Eb         D                 G
She don't fix him dinner no more


REPEAT CHORUS


Em                        A
Cause life is sweet in a border town
D                      B
You learn to let your hair down
         C          G/B   Am7              D            G    B
And you don't make trouble,  you learn to dance the fandango
Em                              A
You change your name, and you change your face
D                       B
Get used to beans, and chili paste
         C        G/B      Am7      D       G    
And you learn to live and love life in the slow lane


Last Chorus:
G                        C     D  G
And that's why God made Mexico
G                     C      D  Em
A place where we can lay low
        G           C       C+ 
Maybe Monterrey or Acapulco
              G             G/Bb
Anywhere the warm winds blow,   don't ya know
Am7         D        Bm Em Am7 D
That's why God made Mexico--o
   (no chord)
That's why God made...made Mexico

G  D  F  G
