Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E A E A E A E A
[Verse]
E A E A
Driving out on Ponchatrain Louisiana mud
E A E A E A E A E A E A
Cleaning off the insects to get a little light
E A E A
You're confined to Dallas and I think you're right
E A E A
To find other solutions maybe not but I might
[Chorus]
B A E B A E
I might be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight
B A E F# A B
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
[Break]
E A E A E A E A
[Verse]
E A E A
Close as I am to you I'm closer to Gila Bend
E A E A
I'll call you in the morning and tell you where to send
E A E A
The last thing we talked about after you had left
E A E A
that message on my party line, That you were miles ahead
[Chorus]
B A E B A E
But I might be looking at trouble again, fighting above my weight
B A E F# A B
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
B A E B A E
Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon
B A E F# A B
When the clouds passed over us, We'll be out of here soon
[Break]
E A E A E A E A E A E A E A E A
[Verse]
E A E A
Thanks for thinking of me and thanks for the flowers
E A E A
Deadly nightshade is beautiful I could stare at them for hours
E A E A
I crossed the border this morning you come across tonight
E A E A
You lost the map of Mexico that wasn't very bright
[Chorus]
B A E B A E
I could be looking at trouble again, fighting above my weight
B A E F# A B
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
B A E B A E
Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon
B A E F# A B
When the clouds passed over us, We'll be out of here soon
B A E B A E
Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon
B A E B A E
When the clouds passed over us, Dancing dancing dancing,
F# A B
We'll be out of here soon

The song ends live with the Eb chord.
Driving out on Ponchatrain Louisiana mud
Cleaning off the insects to get a little light
You're confined to Dallas and I think you're right
To find other solutions maybe not but I might
I might be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
Close as I am to you I'm closer to Gila Bend
I'll call you in the morning and tell you where to send
The last thing we talked about after you had left that message on my party line
That you were miles ahead
To set you up instead
But I might be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon
When the clouds passed over us
We'll be out of here soon
Thanks for thinking of me and thanks for the flowers
Deadly nightshade is beautiful I could stare at them for hours
I crossed the border this morning you come across tonight
You lost the map of Mexico that wasn't very bright
I could be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight
But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case
Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon
When the clouds passed over us
Dancing dancing dancing
We'll be out of here soon
