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

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.

Carmelita, hold me tighter,
E A
I think I'm sinking down.

And I'm all strung out on heroin,
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.
