I hear mariachi static on the radio,
                               B7
and the tubes they glow in the dark.
 
And I'm there with her in Ensenada,
                      E
when I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita, hold me tighter,
  E                 A
I think I'm sinking down.
        E                 B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin,
                    E
on the outskirts of town.
 
         E
Well I'm sitting here playing solitaire,
                      B7
with my pearl handled deck.
 
The county won't give me no more methadone,
                              E
and they cut off your welfare check.

        E                 B7
And I'm all strung out on heroin,
                    E
on the outskirts of town.

Well I pawned my Smith Corona,
                      B7
and I went to meet my man.
 
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street,
                       E
by the Pioneer Chicken Stand.
