      [Intro]
C Em F D7 Gsus4 G

[Verse 1]
     C        Gsus4  G      F         C
With Tennesee sour mash whiskey on my breath,
                            G        Am       C
And Rosalee, Suzie and and Lucy on my mind, 
   F                G              Em                  F
I drove my old car down the dusty streets of this old border town,
     Dm                         Dm7                    G
But I never thought I'd get stuck here such a long long time.

[Chorus 1]
          F                   G                       C            G  C
I've got a million-dollar bill, but they can't change it, 
    F                   Am                  G
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid.
      F                    G
So I might as well settle down, yes,
     Em                 F
And buy the house another round,
Dm                     F            G
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Café.

[Verse 2]
     C                     Gsus4  G         F         C
It was one of those hot dry dime-a-dozen Mexicali days,
                                      G            Am       C
When I fell through the door of the Rosarita Beach Café. 
          F                G              Em                F
And I got myself a table with a view of the breakers in the bay,
      Dm7                         G
And another cold Dos Equis on the way.

[Chorus 2]
          F                   G                       C            G  C
I've got a million-dollar bill, but they can't change it, 
    F                   Am                  G
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid.
      F                    G
So I might as well settle down, yes,
     Em                 F
And buy the house another round,
Dm                     F            G
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Café.

[Verse 3]
     C                     Gsus4  G               F               C
Well, I soon fell in with thugs and thieves and gamblers from the beach,
          Am                   G             Am       C
And the devil himself suggested an all-night game, 
        F                    G                  Em              F
But the night winds came along like some dark-eyed senorita's song
     Dm7                  F               G
And blew my straight flush out across the waves.

[Chorus 3]
          F                   G                    C            G  C
I've got a million-dollar bill, but they can't change it, 
    F                   Am                  G
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid.
      F                    G
So I might as well settle down, yes,
     Em                 F
And buy the house another round,
Dm                     F          G
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Café.
