[Verse 1]
       G                                C/G        G
Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five
              C                   Cm    C
The headlines screamed that I was still alive
  Cm  C
I couldn't understand it
  F                        G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
I thought I died last night

     G                     C/G    G
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town
               C             Cm   C
In a little cantina that the boys had found
      Cm C
I was desperate to dance

Just to dig the local sounds

When along came a señorita
Dm7                       G/F
She looked so good that I had to meet her
      C/G                   D/A               G/B
I was ready to approach her with my English charm
         C     Bb       F/A Gm     F C/E Dm C            G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
When her brass knuckled boy-friend grabbed  me by the arm

Grow some funk of your own

We no like to with the gringo fight

But there might be a death in Mexico tonight

If you can't grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go

Grow some funk of your own

Take my advice, take the next flight

And grow your funk, grow your funk at home

[Verse 2]
       G                           C/G        G
Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends
                    C                  Cm     C
For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten
  C
I knelt to pray

        F               C/F   G/F  G F/A Gdim/Bb G/B  F/C  C
Just to see if he would comprehend
     G                     C/G    G
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town
               C             Cm   C
