(C) (Em) (F) (D7) (G4) (G)
With (C)Tennesee (G4)sour(G)mash (F)whiskey on my (C)breath,
And Rosalee, Suzie and and (G)Lucy on my (Am)mind, (C)
I (F)drove my old car (G)down the dusty (Em)streets of this old (F)border town,
But I (Dm)never thought I'd get (Dm7)stuck here such a (G)long long time.
I've got a (F)million-dollar (G)bill, but they can't (C)change it, (G)(C)
And (F)they won't let me (Am)leave until my (G)tab is paid.
So I (F)might as well settle (G)down, yes,
And (Em)buy the house a(F)nother round,
(Dm)Send my mail to the (F)Rosarita Beach Ca(G)fé.
It was (C)one of those hot dry (G) dime-a-dozen (F)Mexicali (C)days,
When I fell through the door of the (G)Rosarita Beach Ca(Am)fé. (C)
And I (F)got myself a (G)table with a view of the (Em)breakers in the (F)bay,
And a(Dm7)nother cold Dos Equis on the (G)way.
I've got a (F)million-dollar (G)bill, but they can't (C)change it,
And (F)they won't let me (Am)leave until my (G)tab is paid.
So I (F)might as well settle (G)down, yes,
And (Em)buy the house a(F)nother round,
(Dm)Send my mail to the (F)Rosarita Beach Ca(G)fé.
Well, I (C)soon fell in with (G)thugs and thieves and (F)gamblers from the (C)beach,
And the (Am)devil himself sug(G)gested an all-night (Am)game, (C)
But the (F)night winds came a(G)long like some (Em)dark-eyed seno(F)rita's song
And (Dm7)blew my straight flush (F)out across the (G)waves.
I've got a (F)million-dollar (G)bill, but they can't (C)change it,
And (F)they won't let me (C)leave until my (G)tab is paid.
So I (F)might as well settle (G)down, yes,
And (Em)buy the house a(F)nother round,
(Dm)Send my mail to the (F)Rosarita Beach Ca(G)fé.
