Chords

[Verse 1]
   E
I hear mariachi static on my radio

                                B7
And the tubes they light up the dark.
And I'm with her in Encinada
                E
Stuck in Echo Park,
[Chorus]
  A
[tab]  E                A
I think I'm sinkin down.

        E                 B7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin

                    E
on the outskirts of town.
[Verse 2]
     E
Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitare

                      B7
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
                              E
And they cut off your welfare check.
[Chorus]
  A
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  E                A
I think I'm sinkin down.

        E                 B7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin

                    E
on the outskirts of town.
[Interlude] A E A E B7 E [Verse 3]
     E
Well I pawned my Smith Corona

                           B7
and I went down to meet my man.
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
                       E
by the Pioneer Chicken stand.
[Chorus]
  A
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  E                A
I think I'm sinkin down.

        E                 B7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin

                    E
on the outskirts of town.
[Chorus]
  A
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  E                A
I think I'm sinkin down.

        E                 B7
And I'm all strung-out on heroin

                    E
on the outskirts of town.
[Outro]
    E                 B7                          E
I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town
