MEXICO

Words and music by Rick Roberts
From the album Firefall

Am                           Fmaj 7     Am                      Fmaj 7
Last night it snowed for the first time everything's covered in white

Am                       Fmaj 7                          G
How many months till the springtime it's a long winters night

         F              G                   F                  G
I had to go I feel like I'm sinkin' I just don't know but I can't stop thinkin'

Mexico

Am                              Fmaj 7
Somewhere's that's close to the ocean

Am                         Fmaj 7
Somewhere that's warm and alive

Am                        Fmaj 7                   G
Somewhere to sleep in the ocean with the sun in my eyes

         F              G                   F                      G
I had to go I feel I'm sinkin' I just don't know but I can't stop thinkin'

G                        Fmaj 7
Winter winds blowing and Lord but they sting

G                           Fmaj 7
Summer winds sing to me and promise me everything

G                        Fmaj 7
Blue skies and sunshine wherever I go

G                                        Fmaj 7    G
Sweet senoritas are waiting to love me I know

  Am     Fmaj 7   Am
