E
i hear mariachi static on the radio ,
B7
and the tubes they glow in the dark .

and i’m there with her in ensenada ,
E
when i’m here in echo park

E A
carmelita , hold me tighter ,
E A
i think i’m sinking down .
E B7
and i’m all strung out on heroin ,
E
on the outskirts of town .

E
well i’m sitting here playing solitaire ,
B7
with my pearl handled deck .

the county won’t give me no more methadone ,
E
and they cut off your welfare check .

E A
carmelita , hold me tighter ,
E A
i think i’m sinking down .
E B7
and i’m all strung out on heroin ,
E
on the outskirts of town .

E B7 E E A E A E B7 E

E
well i pawned my smith corona ,
B7
and i went to meet my man .

he hangs out down on alvarado street ,
E
by the pioneer chicken stand .

E A
carmelita , hold me tighter ,
E A
i think i’m sinking down .
E B7
and i’m all strung out on heroin ,
E
on the outskirts of town .

E A
carmelita , hold me tighter ,
E A
i think i’m sinking down .
E B7
and i’m all strung out on heroin ,
E
on the outskirts of town .

E A
