Chords

[Verse 1]
Am        C     Am
   Big veranda

        C     Am
Stately trees

         Dm      F          G     Am
Servants bring me fruit and cheese

        C         Am
Flowers bloom and

           C    Am
Feed their bees

     Dm        F        G
Underneath the Sword of Damocles
[Chorus]
    F
And I'm shooting speed

       G
'Cause that's what I do

     Am                 Dm        Am  Dm
When I can't get what I need from you

   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
[Verse 2]
Am       C   Am
   Every Eden

        C    Am
Has its price

         Dm      F      G     Am
Here you have to pay it twice

         C       Am         C    Am
Servants bring me beans and rice

            Dm        F     G
But there's snakes in every Paradise
[Chorus]
       F
'Cause I'm shooting speed

    G
And that's what I do

     Am                 Dm        Am  Dm
When I can't get what I need from you

In Mexico
[Bridge]
Dm      Am    Dm           C
I'm the crazy one they can point to

Dm      Am        Dm         C
I'm the one who's taking the heat

     F         Dm
So I slip out at night

    C                G
And walk through the street
[Verse 3]
Am        C         Am
   I say "yes sir"

      C       Am
I say "ma'am"

          Dm    F     G           Am
When they ask me who I think I am

         C       Am         C     Am
Servants bring me steak and lamb

        Dm      F       G
While I measure by the milligram
[Chorus]
    F
And I'm shooting speed

        G
'Cause that's what I do

       Am               Dm       Am   Dm
When I can't get what I need from you

   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico

   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico

       C Dm C Dm
Oh, in Mexico
[Outro] Dm C Dm Am Dm C D Am
