Carmelita Chords by Warren Zevon

[Intro]

[Verse]
E                                   
■ I hear Mariachi static on my radio
                               B   
And the tubes they glow in the dark
        B                         
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
                     E   
And I'm here in Echo Park


[Chorus]
A                        
Carmelita hold me tighter
  E                 A   
I think I'm sinking down
        E                 B     
And I'm all strung out on heroin
                    E   
On the outskirts of town


[Verse]
         E                             
Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
                     B   
With my pearlhandled deck
    B                                     
The county won't give me no more methadone
                              E    
And they cut off your welfare check
A                        
Carmelita hold me tighter


[Chorus]
  E                 A   
I think I'm sinking down
        E                 B     
And I'm all strung out on heroin
                    E   
On the outskirts of town

[Verse]
       E                     
Well I pawned my Smith Corona
                          B
And I went to meet my man ■
   B                                
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
                       E    
By the Pioneer chicken stand
A                        
Carmelita hold me tighter


[Chorus]
E                   A     
I think I'm sinking ■ down
        E                 B     
And I'm all strung out on heroin
                    E   
On the outskirts of town
A                        
Carmelita hold me tighter
  E                 A   
I think I'm sinking down
        E                 B     
And I'm all strung out on heroin
                    E   
On the outskirts of town
