Am        C     Am
   Big veranda
        C     Am
Stately trees
         Dm      F          G     Am
Servants bring me fruit and cheese
        C         Am
Flowers bloom and
           C    Am
Feed their bees
     Dm        F        G
Underneath the Sword of Damocles


[Chorus]
    F
And I'm shooting speed
       G
'Cause that's what I do
     Am                 Dm        Am  Dm
When I can't get what I need from you
   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico


[Verse 2]
Am       C   Am
   Every Eden
        C    Am
Has its price
         Dm      F      G     Am
Here you have to pay it twice
         C       Am         C    Am
Servants bring me beans and rice
            Dm        F     G
But there's snakes in every Paradise


[Chorus]
       F
'Cause I'm shooting speed
    G
And that's what I do
     Am                 Dm        Am  Dm
When I can't get what I need from you
   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico


[Bridge]
Dm      Am    Dm           C
I'm the crazy one they can point to
Dm      Am        Dm         C
I'm the one who's taking the heat
     F         Dm
So I slip out at night
    C                G
And walk through the street


[Verse 3]
Am        C         Am
   I say "yes sir"
      C       Am
I say "ma'am"
          Dm    F     G           Am
When they ask me who I think I am
         C       Am         C     Am
Servants bring me steak and lamb
        Dm      F       G
While I measure by the milligram


[Chorus]
    F
And I'm shooting speed
        G
'Cause that's what I do
       Am               Dm       Am   Dm
When I can't get what I need from you
   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
   C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
       C Dm C Dm
Oh, in Mexico
