EL PASO!!!

A5 G5 D5 4x

A5                             G5          D5
It was early in the morning 'bout nine to nine
A5                                          G5       D5
We were driving through the night near the Mexican line
G5
They said we caught you red
D5
We can shoot you dead
A5                                               D5
So tell us what you got or get a bullet in your head

CHORUS:
        G5                   D5
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
A5                           D5
Throw out the drugs and the booze
        G5                   D5
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
      A5                                      D5
We've only got our rights and our freedom to lose

Solo: A5 G5 D5 2x

           A5                        G5        D5
They confiscated our green and they took our dough
     A5              G5  D5
They arrested us in El Paso
            G5                  D5
Now they're pattin us down and kickin our shoes
A5                                                D5
Readin us our rights got the arrested in El Paso blues


CHORUS

            A5                           G5         D5
They got my worldly possessions thrown about the floor
    A5                                  G5       D5
And I don't think we're gonna make the show no more
   B5                  D5           E5          G5             
So don't you mess with Texas from experience I know
    B5                     G5    A5         D5
And steer far clear of the U.S. border patrol

Solo: D5 G5 D5 A5 B5 G5 D5 A5
