[Verse 1]
C G/B Am Dm
At a table in Juarez a woman named Dolores is drinking
G C
I see the tear in her eye and I like to pretend what she's thinking
F Am G
She's dreaming of Goimar and a cottage for two by the sea
Dm G C G/B Am G
And mandarin oranges and Mexican lemongrass tea
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am Dm
I married Dolores twenty-one years ago, Sunday
G C
And Dolores she left me twenty-one years ago, Monday
F Am G
I remember the laughter and the last midnight feast by the sea
Dm G C Dm
Of mandarin oranges and Mexican lemongrass tea
[Bridge]
F Am G
And I think of her often, my friends ask what she means to me
Dm G C G/B Am G
I say, mandarin oranges and Mexican lemongrass tea
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C G/B Am Dm
Back here in Juarez, I work at my job, waiting tables
G C
And I long to go speak to her, somehow I don't think I'm able
F Am G
But afraid she will know me as I ask her, what shall it be
Dm G C Dm
She smiles, mandarin oranges and Mexican lemongrass tea
[Bridge]
F Am G
We should return to Goimar and the cottage for two by the sea
Dm G C
And the mandarin oranges and Mexican lemongrass tea
