INTRO CHORDS: G C G D G C G D
"This is a song about best friends"
G C G D
John Roy was a boy I knew since he was three and I was too
G C D
Grew up two little houses down from me
G C
The only bad apples on our family tree
G D
Kinda ripened and rottened in our puberty
G C D
Two kindred spirits bound by destiny
Em D
Well now I was smart but I lacked ambition
C G
Johnny was wild and no inhibition
C Bm D
was about like mixin' fire and gaso-line and he say
CHORUS:
G C G D
Hey Romeo let's go down to Mexico
G C
Chase senoritas drink ourselves silly
G D
Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillies
G C
Got a pocket full of cash and that old Ford truck
G D
Fuzzy cat hangin from the mirror for luck
C Bm D
Said don't you know all those little brown-eyed girls
D G
Want playboys of the southwestern world
G C G D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
G C G D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
G C
Long around our tenth year
G D
We found two airplane tickets to the hell outta here
G C D
Got scholarships to some small town school in Texas
G C
We learned to drink Sangrias til the dawn's early light
G D
Eat egg Ranchero's and throw up all night
G C D
And tell those daddy's girls we were majorinG in the rodeo
Em D
Aw but my favorite memory of school that fall
C G
Was the night John Roy came runnin down in the hall
C Bm D
Wearin nothing but cowboy boots and a big som-brero and he was yellin'
to chorus
C G
And I say we had a little change in plans
C G
Like when Paul McCartney got busted in Japan
C G D
And I said we got waylaid when we set foot on Mexican soil
G C
You see the borderman guard with the fumanchu mustache
G D
Kinda stumbled on John's pocketful of American cash
G C D
He said Doin' a little funny business in Mexcio Ami-go
Em D
But all I could think about was savin' my own tail
C) G
When he mentioned ten years in a Mexican jail
C G
So I pointed at John Roy and said
D
"It's all his...now please let me go "I mean it was your idea genius."
"I was just layin' there in bed when you said" to ending
ENDING:
G C G D
Hey Romeo let's go down to Mexico
G C
Chase senoritas drink ourselves silly
G D
Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillies
G C
Got a pocketful of cash and that old Ford truck
G D
Fuzzy cat hanging from the mirror for luck
C Bm D
Said don't you know all those little brown-eyed girls
G Vamp on G C G D to end
Want playboys of the south Well playboys from the southwestern world
"Ah we're still best friends. Temporary cell mates." "whoo"
