       C
I hear mariachi static on my radio

                               G7
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you in Ensenada
                     C
And I'm here in Echo Park
[Chorus]
     F
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  C                 F
I think I'm sinking down

        C                 G7
And I'm all strung out on heroin

                    C
On the outskirts of town
[Verse 2]
       C
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson

                      G7
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
                       C
At the Pioneer Chicken stand
[Chorus]
     F
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  C                 F
I think I'm sinking down

        C                 G7
And I'm all strung out on heroin

                    C
On the outskirts of town

         C
Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire

                      G7
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
                              C
And they cut off your welfare check
[Chorus]
     F
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  C                 F
I think I'm sinking down

        C                 G7
And I'm all strung out on heroin

                    C
On the outskirts of town
[Outro]
     F
Carmelita, hold me tighter

  C                 F
I think I'm sinking down

        C                 G7
And I'm all strung out on heroin

                    C
On the outskirts of town.
