       C
I hear mariachi static on the radio,

                               G7
and the tubes they glow in the dark.

And I'm there with her in Ensenada,

                      C
when I'm here in Echo Park

C    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 sitting 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.

C    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 pawned my Smith Corona,

                      G7
and I went to meet my man.

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street,

                       C
by the Pioneer Chicken Stand.

C    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    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.
