capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
G D Em C (x4)
Verse
His name was Steve, her name was Gina
They met at a bar called the Cabo Wabo Cantina
He was an insurance salesman from South Dakota
She was a first grade school teacher Phoenix Arizona
They started dancing and it got real hot
Then it spilled over to the parking lot
One more tequila they were falling in love
One more is never enough
Chorus
Don't bite off more than you chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
C D G D Em C (x2)
What happens down in Mexico, stays in Mexico
Verse
He woke up in the morning and he made a little telephone call
To check on his wife and his kids back at home in Sioux Falls
She hopped right in the shower with a heavy heavy mind
He knew it was the first time Gina'd ever crossed that line
They walked down to the beach, started drinking again
Jumped into the ocean for a dirty swim
One more margarita they were falling in love
One more is never enough
Chorus
Don't bite off more than you chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
C D G D Em C (x2)
What happens down in Mexico, stays in Mexico
[Instrumental] (same chords as intro)
Waiting at the bar at the terminal gate
She said, Steve I gotta go I'm gonna miss my plane
He said, one more tequila before you climb on up
She said, one more is never enough
Chorus
Don't bite off more than you chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
C D G D Em C (x2)
What happens down in Mexico, stays in Mexico
