Tom: F

F                   C7
Down in old Tijuana town
C7                         F
There's this happy honkin' sound,
F         D7                 Gm
Something you just can't put down
C                             F
It's the world renown Tijuana cab.

[Verse]

F                            C7
So, you're not impressed you say
C7                   F
With a beat up Chevrolet
F         D7        Gm
But that driver man Jose
C                            F
Knows his way around Tijuana town.

[Chorus]
F             C7
Hey, ya wanna swing (You just tell Jose)
C7              F
Have yourself a fling (What-cha wanna play)
F                D
Meet some pretty thing? (Any time you say)
D             Gm
Livin' like a king! (Long as you can pay)

A#
Picture post cards 'n' hot tequila
F                    D7
French perfume, man, from Venezuela
Gm                            F
When you're on a Tijuana Taxi ride!


[Verse]
F                   C7
Give those bulls a great big hand,
C7                   F
Love that mariachi band,
F       D7                 Gm
But the best thing in the land
C                             F
Is that hand-me-down Tijuana cab


Marimba Solo
F                   C7
C7                         F
F         D7                 Gm
C                             F

F                            C7
C7                   F
F         D7        Gm
C                            F


[Chorus]
F             C7
Hey, ya wanna swing (You just tell Jose)
C7              F
Have yourself a fling (What-cha wanna play)
F                D
Meet some pretty thing? (Any time you say)
D             Gm
Livin' like a king! (Long as you can pay)

Gm                            F
When you're on a Tijuana Taxi ride!


[Verse]
F                       C7
So you swing and go for broke
C7                  F
Not a penny in your poke
F       D7           Gm
Got no cigarettes to smoke
F      C
But ya had your fling,
C
the pretty thing
C7
And every-thing
C
is ring-a-ding.
F
O-le!
