[Intro] Cm G7 [Verse 1]
Cm                      G
  I met a woman down in Mexico

Ab                      Bb
  Sweet as sugar with a heart made of stone

Cm                        G
  We drank tequila by the light of the moon

         Ab                     Bb
I didn't realize that she would be my ruin

Cm                            G
  She said she knew about the voodoo ways

    Ab                          Bb
Said she could love me till the end of her days

Cm                     G
  She lit a candle and turned around

             Ab               Bb
And when she did my feet never touched the ground
[Interlude] Cm G7 [Verse 2]
Cm                             G
  She tried to say she was the last of her kind

Ab                               Bb   G
  She started to change I nearly lost my mind

Cm                   G
  I realized she had put a spell on me

Ab                Bb
Smelled the room; smelled just like a honeybee

Cm                       G
  I looked around and my eyes grew wider then

Ab                 Bb
  I realized I was inside her spider den

Cm                   G
  Tried to run but I never had a chance

    Ab          Bb
She did her tarantula dance
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                        Cm
  Oh you say it's too fantastic, it cannot be true

G                        Cm
  I say that it can happen, oh it can happen to you

Fm                          Cm
  One minute you'll be thinking that everything's fine

G
  The next thing you know well you're there with your heart on the line
[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus] Cm G7 [Verse 3]
Cm                                 G
  Throughout the night I heard her call my name

Ab               Bb
  Me like a moth drawn to the flame

Cm                       G
  Me like a spell in the magic ways

Ab              Bb
  Made a minute stretch into days

Cm                    G
  And when I felt her lips close to mine

Ab                       Bb
  I felt our bodies then our souls entwine

Cm                     G
  I tried to run but I never had a chance

    Ab              Bb
She did her tarantula dance

[Post-Chorus] Cm G7 [Verse 4]
Cm                 G
  When I awoke she had slipped away

Ab                   Bb
  I haven't seen her since that day

Cm                      G
  And now I search everywhere I go

               Ab              Bb
For that sweet young girl from Mexico I go

Cm                     G
  Town to town and the story they tell

        Ab                          Bb
About a girl breaking hearts with a magic spell

Cm                  G
  Using potions and magic chants

      Ab                 Bb
But I know it's just her tarantula dance
[Pre-Chorus]
