   D
1.In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's
                                                   G
I found myself not feeling any pain
Em                                                 A
I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
Em                                                         A
She said she'd only come to catch a train
  D      
2.We struck up some idle conversation
                                                    G
Traded all the troubles on our minds
Em                                                A
One thing led to another in the evening
Em    G                  A                       D
And I fell in love again for my last time

(Chorus)
 D                                                      Em     Em7
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
A                                               A7                     D
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime 
                                                           Em     Em7
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
          G                   A                       D
That I fell in love again for my last time

3.Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of a morning after
And all alone as far as I could tell 

4.Why she left I have no way of knowing
I guess she caught her train and that's a crime
She took everything I ever wanted
And I fell in love again for my last time 

(Chorus)Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time
