Capo II 
 
INTRO:  E5  E5  A5  E5  A5  B5 
  
  E5                      E5  E5 
I didn't even bother to set the alarm 
                        E5                      
If I'm a few hours late what's the harm 
              A5                   E5  E5 
I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico 
     B5                 A5 
I've discovered how to take it slow  
             E5 E5 
I've been in Mexico 
 

        E5                                    E5       E5 
Now the boss is stressed out, he's got his deadlines to meet 
                            E5       
I'm leanin back in my chair in my two bare feet 
               A5         E5 
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico 
               B5                    A5 
Still got the sun on my back and the sand in my toes 
              E5 E5 
I've been in Mexico 
 
CHORUS: 
            B5                        A5     E5 
And when I landed in the land of the Aztec sun 
      B5               A5         E5 
I was too uptight and too high strung 
        C5                    F5               G5 
But the moment that salt air hit my tongue I felt a change 
        A5                  E5        B5 
Nobody ever goes and comes back the same 
 

         E5                         E5    E5 
When she left me for another I was down and out 
                                      E5 
But there's a little cactus cure I've learned about 
               A5        E5  E5 
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico 
             B5              A5                   E5 E5 
And to that heartache I say adios, I've been in Mexico 
 
SOLO 
 
CHORUS 
           E5                               E5 E5 
So take my sunglasses with you, leave your watch behind 
                                E5   E5  A5 
Could you please tell Maria I'm doin fine 
N/C/             E5 
I've been in Mexico 
   E5  E5 
Oh Mexico
