   [Intro]
A    C#m    F#m    E7


   [Verse 1]
A               C#m7       F#m           C#m
No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer
   A             C#m        Bm7   Dm7
So this time the boss chose me
E7                Bm7             E7               Bm7
I've been sort of restless yes he thought it might help if
       E7                      A    Bm
I got away from my wife and family


   [Verse 2]
        A             C#m7            F#m          C#m
There's been no other woman since the mother of my children
       A              F#m         Bm7    Dm7
And in each and every way she's a lady
            E7            Bm7               E7               Bm7
Now there's one that I'll remember a sultry night we spent together
        E             E7             A  A/E
And she satisfied the love inside of me


   [Chorus]
E7        A               C#m7       F#m          C#m
Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
    A           C#m7              Bm7   E7
And call up the one whose love is free
D          E7         C#m     F#m
She may be easy and I love my lady
        Bm              C#m7   E7             A   A6
But the lady don't satisfy the love inside of me


   [Verse 3]
A                        C#m7             F#m                  C#m
I know the lady's not to blame cause they raised her prime and proper
      A                 F#m                Bm7   Dm7
While another takes her pleasures where she can
           E7               Bm7         E7            Bm7
The one in Tucson she don't hide it and when she gets excited
              E               E7     A
She makes you feel your every inch a man


   [Verse 4]
A                     C#m7        F#m           C#m
But if I could have a wish that I knew would be granted
          A         F#m            Bm7   Dm7
Don't you know that one wish would be
        E7            Bm7      E7                   Bm7
Just to lay beside my lady and she'd be the kind of lady
        E7                    A  A/E
To satisfy the love inside of me


   [Chorus]
E7        A               C#m7       F#m          C#m
Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
    A           C#m               Bm7   E7
And call up the one whose love is free
D          E7         C#m     F#m
She may be easy and I love my lady
        Bm              C#m7   E7             A   A6
But the lady don't satisfy the love inside of me


   [Outro]
E7        A               C#m7       F#m          C#m       A   C#m  Bm7
Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
E7        A               C#m7       F#m          C#m
Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done
