Straight Tequila:
As sung by Trini Triggs
From: Eddie Garcia

with capo on 3rd fret!!!!!


            "Straight Tequila"
    D  
I'm down and out on the border
          A
She's in love up in Dallas
 D                            G
She say's it's over I'm still thinkin' about us
    D                                          A
Well I'm on the run with a heartache hot on my heels
   D                             A
So I'm stirring up feelings like booze in a blender
     D                    G
And pouring my heart out to love her tender
     D                       A                  D/A
Well out on the border while she holds another tonight...

(chorus)
                 D                     A 
And I'm pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions
  D                    G 
Drowning my sorrow by cryin' an ocean
                                      A 
Should I stoop to beg or just let her go
         D                      A          
I'm in a sea of confusion and I can't swim
     D                          G
One minute I'm fumin' then I'm crying again
         D                     A              D
Pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions tonight!

   D                A 
A shaker of salt, a quarter of lime
         D                     G 
Turning three finger shooters a' one at a time
                                         A 
Chased by a memory tonight that I can't escape
            D                 A 
I'm down to my last buck and my last swallow
     D                         G 
And just my luck Hey there's a worm in my bottle
         D                A                     D/A 
But it's my last shot so here's to love on the rocks...

(repeat chorus)

    G             D 
And I'm pouring straight tequila
      A              D
over mixed emotions tonight!!!



I think I pretty much got it right, if not please let me know!

Thanks,

Eddie
