Carmelita Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Ebdim][Adim][G]

[Verse 1]
I hear [G]Mary Ash,
static on my radio,
and the tubes they glow in the [D]dark.
And I'm there with her, in Ensenada,
and I'm [Ebdim]here in Echo[D] Park[G].
[C]Carmelita, hold me [G]tighter,
I think I'm sinking [C]down
And I'm [G]all strung out and [D]heroin
on the outskirts of [G]town
I'm sitting here playing solitaire
with my pearl -handled [D]deck
The county won't give
me no more methadone
And they cut off [Ebdim]the wel
[Adim]fare che[D]ck[G]
Crime a [C]leader, hold me [G]tighter
I think I'm sinking [C]down
[G]And I'm all strung out on [D]heroin
On the outskirts of [G]town[Cm][D]
[Ebdim][D][G][C]
[G][C][G][D][G]
We are turning left to Park Road
[D]Then I [G]went to meet my [D]man
He hangs that down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken [Am]stand[G]
Carmel[C]ita, hold me [G]tighter
I think I'm sinking [C]down
Then I'm [G]all strung out on [D]heroin
On the askers of time
[G]I'm a lea[C]der, hold me tighter
[G]I think I'm sinking dow[C]n
And I'm [G]all strung out on [D]heroin
On the outskirts of town
