Verse 1: D E Down the road a ways i've heard said a new day's coming on A D Where the women folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone E I'll believe it when i see it and i haven't seen it yet B E Don't mind me just keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat Chorus 1: A E There ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand A How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a man E If i'd never felt the sunshine then i would not curse the rain A If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train Verse 2: D E Me and Louise Higgins-Botham used to chase across the yard A D Back in 1947 that's when more than times were hard E Well pity me i didn't find the line in time like a fool B E In front of God and everybody i politely blew my cool Chorus 2: A E Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the king A When you're down in Madamoris getting busted by the man E If i'd never felt the sunshine,Hell i would not curse the rain A If i hadn't been railroaded well i guess i'd been a train Thanks to David M.
