Intro: Am C F G C C
Verse
Am C
I was walking in a midnight market
Am C
Through the shanties outside Juarez
Am C
She had a flower in her hair and the band filled the air
F G Am Am
As we danced on the day of the dead
Am C
She said boy don't you know I am Lola
Am C
And I belong to the local cartel
Am G C F
A tear filled her eye as she kissed me goodbye
F G C
And two federales they tossed me in jail
Em F G
Tonight I'm in a Mexican prison
Em F G
My cell mate is making a knife
C F
Oh but all I can think of is her crying eyes
Am G C
And how to make sweet Lola mine
F Am G C C
Oh how to make sweet Lola mine
Verse
Am C
I had come there a backpack traveler
Am C
With two crazy Canadian friends
Am C
Billy and Jack, yeah we go way back
F G Am Am
But they laughed and they waved as my paddy wagon left
Am C
I thought well damn ya boys, I'll dream of Lola
Am C
And her big auburn innocent eyes
Am G C F
They can break all my fingers till none of them lingers
F G C
But I'll still make sweet Lola mine
Em F G
Tonight I'm in a Mexican prison

My cell mate is making a knife

I thought dear God this is the end

Aw but Billy and Jack they'd bought a burly little ass

And with that donkey the three of us we fled

Yeah we're making a run for our lives
