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
