From: rickl1@ix.netcom.com Michael Jerling Take Me To Juarez written by Michael Jerling D G Out to see America and where do we land Em G In Some West Texas town with a guy named Dan D G In the Dairy Queen with a root bear float Em G He had Buddy Holly glasses and a Sgt Pepper coat D G Broke the empty bottles on the railroad tracks Em G Lights of the town burning at our backs D G Dan said he'd be a cowboy if we had our doubts Em G A The time and the wine finally drove them out G Asus Take me to Juarez I'll show you the town D D/C# Bm I speak the language I'll show you around G A Nothing as sweet in this whole round world D D/C# Bm A As the big brown eyes of a Mexican girl D G West to Juarez was an all night ride Em G On a table top highway as blank as the sky D G The liquor wore off with the rising sun Em G I wanted to die or at least to throw up D G Dan got us lost down dusty back streets Em G Dark eyes stared dogs nipped at our heels D G And the only Spanish that he could speak Em G A Was por favor and buenos dias G Asus Take me to Juarez I'll show you the town D D/C# Bm I speak the language I'll show you around G A Nothing as sweet in this whole round world D D/C# Bm A As the big brown eyes of a Mexican girl D G Thought we'd head west put Don on a bus Em G When we got real quiet and his eyes glazed up D G He started to twitch and kick at the door Em G He started to shake and he fell to the the floor D G He foamed at the mouth I just wanted to run Em G Jim said don't let him swallow his tounge D G And when it was over he just fell asleep Em G A We started the truck and pointed it east G Asus Take me to Juarez I'll show you the town D D/C# Bm I speak the language I'll show you around G A Nothing as sweet in this whole round world D D/C# Bm A As the big brown eyes of a Mexican girl D G Out to see America and where do we land Em G Some West Texas town with a guy named Dan D G He pointed the way to a small bungalow Em G Walked up the front porch through the old screen door D G A D Ooo take me to Juarez I'll show you around D G A D Ooo take me to Juarez I'll show you the town D G A D Ooo take me to Juarez I'll show you around From Michael Jerling "Live At The Postcrypt Coffeehouse" Columbia University Fast Folk Records 1992 FF CD 509 Shanacie Music Works(ASCAP) http://www.fastfolk.org/index.html http://www.waterbug.com/jerling.html
