I was on my way down to Mex - ic-o
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
There was trouble on the rise
C5 F5 C5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
It was nothing more than I'd left behind
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
Which was much to my surprise
C5 C7
I turned around and lit a cigarette
C7
Wiped the dust off of my boots
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
When up ahead I saw the crowd
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
I knew it was no use
D7
It's been the same way for oh so long
C7 Bb5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5
It looks like I'm singing the same old song
[Verse 2]
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
A fine and fancy man was he
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 C5 Bb5
Doing good things for the poor
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
Giving rides in his rocking Eighty-eight for free
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
They could not hope for more
C5 C7
When it came my turn he said to me
C7
"Have I seen your face before?"
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
I said, "Oh no, you must be wrong
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
I'm from a distant shore"

So if you don't mind I'll just move along but
C7 Bb5 Bb7
It looks like I'm singing the same old song

[Verse 3]
F5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
A Nineteen Forty movie star
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
With a long forgotten name
C5 F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
Still hanging on to fame
C5 C7
With forgotten lines she missed her cue
C7
And left a glass of wine at home
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
She was singing the same song that I was
F5 G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5
Could we both be wrong?
D7
So hand in hand we walked along,
C7
Each of us singin' the same old song.
