INTRO: G C D G
#1.
G C G
We went one day, about a month ago,
D G
to have a little fun in Mexico.
C G
We ended up in a gambling spot,
D G G7
where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot.
CHORUS:
G7 C G
So, here we are in the Tijuana Jail.
D G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail.
G7 C G G7
So, here we'll stay, cause we can't pa-a-a-a-ay.
D G
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
#2.
G C G
I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough,
D G G7
and then I heard that whistle blow.
G7 C G
We started to run when a man in blue,
D G
said, 'Senor, come with me.. cause I want you.'

#3.
G C G
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free.
D G G7
I couldn't raise a penny, if you threatened me.
G7 C G
I know five hundred don't sound like much,
D G
but just try to find, somebody to touch.
