D
1.In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's
G
I found myself not feeling any pain
Em A
I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
Em A
She said she'd only come to catch a train
D
2.We struck up some idle conversation
G
Traded all the troubles on our minds
Em A
One thing led to another in the evening
Em G A D
And I fell in love again for my last time
(Chorus)
D Em Em7
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
A A7 D
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Em Em7
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
G A D
That I fell in love again for my last time
3.Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of a morning after
And all alone as far as I could tell
4.Why she left I have no way of knowing
I guess she caught her train and that's a crime
She took everything I ever wanted
And I fell in love again for my last time
(Chorus)Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time
