E
I hear mariachi static on my radio
B7
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you and it's a not-a
E
And I'm here in echo park
A
Carmelita, hold me tighter
E
I think I'm sinking down
B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin
E
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
B7
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on ElDorado Street
E
At the county chicken stand
A
Carmelita, hold me tighter
E
I think I'm sinking down
B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin
E
On the outskirts of town
Well I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette
B7
With my pearle handled gun
The county won't give me any more Methadone
E
And they cut off your welfare check
A
Carmelita, hold me tighter
E
I think I'm sinking down
B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
A
Carmelita, hold me tighter
E
I think I'm sinking down
B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
