A G D 4x
A G D
It was early in the morning 'bout nine to nine
A G D
We were driving through the night near the Mexican line
G
They said we caught you red
D
We can shoot you dead
A D
So tell us what you got or get a bullet in your head
CHORUS:
G D
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
A D
Throw out the drugs and the booze
G D
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
A D
We've only got our rights and our freedom to lose
Solo: A G D 2x
A G D
They confiscated our green and they took our dough
A G D
They arrested us in El Paso
G D
Now they're pattin us down and kickin our shoes
A D
Readin us our rights got the arrested in El Paso blues
CHORUS
A G D
They got my worldly possessions thrown about the floor
A G D
And I don't think we're gonna make the show no more
Bm D Em G
So don't you mess with Texas from experience I know
Bm G A D
And steer far clear of the U.S. border patrol
Solo: D G D A Bm G D A
