Mexico Gold Chords & Lyrics - The Hollies

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: [D] [C]-[G] [C]-[D] (3x)

Thought I'd take a trip down to the old [D]world
'Cause I [G]heard a lot of things about the North American [D]girls
I was looking for a [Em]lady
Someone to have my [D]baby [C] -
[G] [C] -
[D] [C] -
[G]

So I got me on a 747 Pan America [D]plane
I [G]sat me down next to your all American [D]dame
Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a [Em]pity"
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico [D]City

[CHORUS]
Ah, she said [G]Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
Oh, man oh, L[G]ordy, Lordy needs a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

[G]Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a [D]list
Do you [G]carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Commu[D]nist?
They said my papers were in [Em]order
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the [D]border

[CHORUS]
Ah, she said [G]Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
Oh, man oh, L[G]ordy, Lordy needs a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [C]-[D] [C]-[G] [C]-[D] [C]-[G] [C]-[D] [C]-[G]

Took the first South bound across the Rio and [D]down
[G]Found a little place in a small Mexico [D]town
Just me and my [Em]lady
Now she's having my [D]baby

[CHORUS]
Ah, she said [G]Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
Oh, man oh, L[G]ordy, Lordy needs a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)

CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
Ah, she said [G]Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
Oh, man oh, L[G]ordy, Lordy needs a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your [D]head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
