Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Margie said Roy you ain't listening to me

And I got a whole lot more to say

 Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys

And she ain't seen or heard from him to this day

Chorus

And that's why God made Mexico

A place where we can lay low

 And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow

 And the warm wind blows

That's why God made Mexico

And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night half past six

Cause that's when he'd roll through that door

 Cause sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips

She don't fix him dinner no more

REPEAT CHORUS

Cause life is sweet in a border town

You learn to let your hair down

 And you don't make trouble, you learn to dance the fandango

You change your name, and you change your face

Get used to beans, and chili paste

 And you learn to live and love life in the slow lane

Last Chorus:

And that's why God made Mexico

A place where we can lay low

 Maybe Monterrey or Acapulco

 Anywhere the warm winds blow, don't ya know

That's why God made Mexico--o

(no chord)

That's why God made...made Mexico
