         D                   A/C#      G/B        D/A 
Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky-tonk bar 
        D/F#                      G 
And I’m thinking where I’d rather be  
                  D/F#          A       D 
Maybe chasing señoritas down in Old Mexico  
   E7                          A7 
Or standing at the edge of the sea 
   D         A/C#  G/B        D/A 
If I had the money I tell you honey 
     D/F#                      G 
We’d be on that first plane to Spain 
                     Em       D/F#      Bm 
But as long as we’re here the answer is clear 
      A                       D 
We’ll dance in the New Mexico rain 

           G   D/F#     A           D 
New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas 
           G   D/F#           A            D 
New Mexico R-a-in, yeah and I call this my home 
     D           A/C#    G/B         D/A 
If I ain’t happy here, I ain’t happy nowhere 
    D/F#   G            A7             D A/C# G/B D/A 
New Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam

The lights of the city keep calling my name 
    D/F#                       G 
But I have been through that before 
               D/F#     A              D 
It’s a giant hotel on a long four lane street 
           E7                   A7 
It’s got a checkout time on the door 
   D         A/C#  G/B        D/A 
If I had the money I tell you honey 
     D/F#                 G 
We’d be on that New Delhi train 
                     Em       D/F#      Bm 
But as long as we’re here the answer is clear 
      A                       D 
We’ll waltz in the New Mexico rain 

           G   D/F#     A           D 
New Mexico R-a-in, it’s hot down in Texas

I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar 
       D/F#                  G 
And he sure seems unhappy to me 
                       D/F#             A           D 
He tells me he’s going nowhere and he’s going there fast 
       E7                      A7 
And he envies this life that I lead 
   D         A/C#  G/B        D/A 
If I had the money I tell you honey 
    D/F#                  G 
I’d keep him from going insane

I know there’s one thing for sure, there just ain’t no cure 
       A               D 
Like a walk in the New Mexico rain 

           G   D/F#          A           D
