Tijuana Jail (Listen to midi)

G - C - D - G

G C G

1. We went one day about a month ago,

D - D7 G

to have a little fun in Mexico.

C G

We ended up in a gambling spot,

D - D7 - - - - - - - - - - - - G

where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot.

- - - - - - - - C G

So here we are in the Tijuana Jail,

D - D7 G - G7

ain't got no friends to go our bail.

C G

So here we'll stay, 'cause we can't pay,

D - D7 - - - - - - - - - - G

just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.

G C G

2. I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough,

D - D7 G

and then I heard the whistle blow.

C G

We started to run when a man in blue

D - D7 - - - - - - - - - G

said, "Senor, come with me, 'cause I want you!" + CHORUS

G C G

3. Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free,

D - D7 G

I couldn't raise a penny if you threatened me.

C G

I know five hundred don't sound like much,

D - D7 - - - - - - - - - G

but just try to find somebody to touch. + CHORUS (2x)
