Ridin' My Thumb to Mexico
By Johnny Rodriguez

Capo 1

         C   
This old highway seems so lonesome 
            Em
When you're goin’ where you've been
      F
And a lonesome song can make you cry
G
Time and time again
       C
If I'd listened to a friend of mine
    Am
Ten years ago today
           F 
I'd have a better job
                     G
Than what I've got today


        C
But the billboards on the highway
        Em
And the brake lights on the cars
        F
Make me jump out on the highway
        G
With my bag and my guitar
       C
If she comes or if she goes
           Am
It doesn't matter anymore
          F         G            C
Cause I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico


Chorus:
F         G            C C/B Am
Ridin' my thumb to Mexico—o--o
F               G             C
It don't matter when or how I go
F             G           C   C/B   Am
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
    F        G            C
I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico


The reason why she left me's
Not the reason that I'm here
I'm a travlin' kind of man
Just need a change of atmosphere
If there's any place I haven't been
At all that's where I'll go
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

Chorus

lmofle........... you have a great talent. I look for you name when checking out these tabs, you are great.

I would like to suggest where C/B is to use E7. A bit more twang, and sounds great.

Thanks for all the great tabs you put out there.

One more, instead of G try G7.
-AceCrawford | 12/4/2005
On the C vs. C/B, it's a walkdown from C to Am - the natural
progression is to go from C to C/B to Am.

As far as G7 vs, G, that is a personal preference. In the V spot,
that is normally a 7th but it's up to the individual!

Thanks for checking out my tabs!
