C           G
Oh Mexico  all the time
Em                       Am                  C      G
Dreamin' all about Acapulco and a sweet thing on my mind
C                  G
Mogadishu sunrise  low above the sea
Em                      Am               C                 G
All of those lawyers in California won't bring her back to me 
Dm       G  Dm      G
Back to me  back to me

C  F               C
Oh Mercenary Girl
C                  F             Dm   G
Of all the lowdown places in the world
          Dm                  G
To be stuck inside of a phone booth
 C                      F
Hangin' on the end of a line
                  Bb                    G
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind

C              G
Oh Mary  Mary  I think you're fine
Em                       Am           C               G
'Cause you can mix a margarita from a bottle of turpentine
C                                               G
Just between noon and midnight  that's when the battle rages on
Em                         Am                    C               
Mama I just gotta make one more call and I'll be here with you all 
       G
night long
Dm         G     Dm       G
All night long  all night long

C  F          C
Oh Mercenary Girl
C                  F                 Dm   G
Of all the lowdown places in the world
          Dm             G
To be livin' in another city
C                   F
Comin' from another time
Dm             G
I know it's a cold cruel world
          C                 F
But your eyes look soft and kind
            Bb                        A
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
D   G         D
Oh Mercenary Girl...
