Carmelita Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
I hear [C]Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the [G]dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo [C]Park

[Chorus 1]
Carme[F]lita hold me tighter
I [C]think I'm sinking [F]down
And I'm [C]all strung out on [G]heroin
On the outskirts of [C]town

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm [C]sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled [G]deck
The county won't give me
no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare [C]check

[Chorus 2]
Carme[F]lita hold me tighter
I [C]think I'm sinking [F]down
And I'm [C]all strung out on [G]heroin
On the outskirts of [C]town

[Solo 1]
[C][C][C][G]
[G][G][G][C]
[F][F][C][F]
[C][G][G][C][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, I [C]pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my [G]man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken [C]stand

[Chorus 3]
Carme[F]lita hold me tighter
I [C]think I'm sinking [F]down
And I'm [C]all strung out on [G]heroin
On the outskirts of [C]town

[Chorus 4]
Carme[F]lita hold me tighter
I [C]think I'm sinking [F]down
And I'm [C]all strung out on [G]heroin

[Outro 1]
On the outskirts of
