As recorded by ZZ Top (From the 1973 Album TRES HOMBRES) [Intro] Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7 [Verse 1]
  Gm7              Cm7
I met a shiek from Mozambique

    Gm7           Cm7
Who led me to the Congo

   Gm7              Cm7
He dreamed to go to Mexico

    Gm7         Cm7
And sample a burrito

                   Bb     Gm
My temperature had risen again

Cm                     Bb         Gm7
It must have been a hundred and ten
[Verse 2]
Gm7                  Cm7
Under the oaks I was telling some jokes

    Gm7               Cm7
And thinking I had it made

        Gm7                Cm7
Getting on with the folks, having some Coke

Gm7                Cm7
Cooling off in the shade

                   Bb     Gm
My temperature had risen again

       Cm7              Bb          Gm7
And it must have been a hundred and ten
Hmm! [Guitar Solo] F5 Bb5 F5 Bb5 F5 Bb5 F5 Bb5 F5 Bb5 F5 Bb5 [x6] Dm7 N.C. [Verse 3]
  Gm7              Cm7
I took a boat that couldn't float

   Gm7      Cm7
To Rio de Janeiro

   Gm7             Cm7
So with my scuba I swam to Cuba

    Gm7          Cm7
But I'll be gone tomorrow

                   Bb     Gm
My temperature had risen again

   Cm7              Bb          Gm
It must have been a hundred and ten
[Outro] Gm Dm7 Cm7 F7 Bb7 Dm7 Cm7 F7 Bb7
