Senorita

G C

Maquiladoras lined the Texas border
Of the town where you grew up
Yer daddy had a tequila still in yer back yard
And he wouldn't let any boys see ya

Oh senorita...

You gotta be careful with assholes
Because they might just be a genius
And I hope when I act like an asshole
It's because I'm a genius

Oh senorita...

At night you'd go out dancing
And all the boys just wanted to touch you
But I was content to watch yer body move
In the dim light of the cantina

Oh senorita...

So I'll act like an asshole
Just to prove that I'm a genius
And those boys there sure are assholes
But I don't think any of them's a genius

Oh senorita...

Amaj7ish Fmaj7ish
And the night starts to dim down
As the sun sets over the Rio Grande
And I'll sneak outside yer room
But yer daddy's making tequila neath the moon

Emaj7ish Fmaj7ish Gmaj7ish Fmaj7ish
I tell myself Imma wait outside till all the lights go out
But I trip and I fall, and you turn on every damn light in the house

F#mish Fmaj7ish
Yer daddy runs inside
And comes out holding his gun
Screams out, "Boy I'm gonna kill ya!"

F#mish G#mish Aish
But I'm already on the run
Yeah I'm already on the run

G C
I don't know if I'll ever see ya
Seems like the gates of Heaven are between us
But I'll never forget the way yer body moved
In the pale light of the cantina

Oh senorita...

And yer daddy sure is an asshole
But I ain't much of a genius
And I'm sorry I acted like an asshole
But yer daddy, he's the meanest

Oh senorita...

I forced myself to use weird chords and change the keys. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to sing to that. I tried, but I'm pretty sure I didn't do a good job at it. I still like the song though.

Git low, baby grrl,
Hugz 'n' kissiz,
