Acapulco Goldie    (intro)

 

                    D

1. She was dancin' when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina,

                                                                  A

    in a neighborhood they call "La Zona Roja".

             A                     A7                 A                   A7

    She had a child's smile,  but she told me in a while

                  A                  A7                   D

    it would take a lot of gold to get to know her.

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go ?

         G              A          D

You said you'd always hold me,

              G                          A              D

but you run away with me Acapulco gold.

2. I knew there's no one cuter, then she said she was a puta.

                                                                            A

    I said, "What does puta mean?"  And so she told me, oh no !

                      A                     A7                A                         A7

    Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoke and drink tequila,

                   A                                A7                               D

    then the lights went out  and I guess that's when she rolled me.

Just like Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go ?

         G              A          D       

You said you'd always hold me.

               G                              A               D       

But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold, ya ya,

              G                          A              D       

but you run away with me Acapulco gold.
