E--------------------------------------B7--------------------
1) I hear Mariachi static on my radio And the tubes they glow in the dark
2) Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire With my pearl-handled deck
3) Every time I hear the sirens wail You know I almost have the heart attack
4) Well, I pawned my Smith-Corona And I went to meet my man

B7----A--------------------------------E-----------
1) But you're there in Ensenada And I'm stuck here in Echo Park
2) The county won't give me no more methadone And they cut off your welfare check
3) And her big samoan boyfriend says he's gonna Come and break my back
4) He hangs out down on Alvarado Street By the Pioneer Chicken stand

chorus: E Carme- A lita hold me tighter I E think I'm sinking A down
And I'm E all strung out on B7 heroin On the E outskirts of town
