Capo II 
 
INTRO:  E  E4  A  E  A  B7 
  
  E                      E4  E 
I didn't even bother to set the alarm 
                        E7                      
If I'm a few hours late what's the harm 
              A                   E7  E 
I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico 
     B7                 A 
I've discovered how to take it slow  
             E E7 
I've been in Mexico 
 

        E                                    E4       E 
Now the boss is stressed out, he's got his deadlines to meet 
                            E7       
I'm leanin back in my chair in my two bare feet 
               A         E 
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico 
               B7                    A 
Still got the sun on my back and the sand in my toes 
              E7 E 
I've been in Mexico 
 
CHORUS: 
            B7                        A     E 
And when I landed in the land of the Aztec sun 
      B7               A         E 
I was too uptight and too high strung 
        C                    F               G 
But the moment that salt air hit my tongue I felt a change 
        A                  E        B7 
Nobody ever goes and comes back the same 
 

         E                         E4    E 
When she left me for another I was down and out 
                                      E7 
But there's a little cactus cure I've learned about 
               A        E7  E 
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico 
             B7              A                   E7 E 
And to that heartache I say adios, I've been in Mexico 
 
SOLO 
 
CHORUS 
           E                               E4 E 
So take my sunglasses with you, leave your watch behind 
                                E7   E  A 
Could you please tell Maria I'm doin fine 
N/C/             E 
I've been in Mexico 
   E7  E 
Oh Mexico
