(Verse 1)
(C/G)I was (C)hangin' 'round in Brooklyn town with a (F)settle-down type (C)girl
Her (C)daddy was a diplomat who (G)thought he ruled the world
And (C)he was well-connected, he helped (F)me connect the (Fm)dots
He (C)paid me off to (Am)leave, and let's just (G)say he paid a (C)lot

(Chorus)
I guess it's (C)M-E-(Am)X-I-(F)C-O for me
Laid (C)up in the shade of a (G)coconut tree
And (C)love said, "Go to hell," but there's some-(F)where I'd rather (Fm)be
So it's (C)M-E-(F)X-I-(G)C-O for (C)me
 
(Verse 2)
So I (C)took her daddy's money, but I (F)stopped in Vegas (C)first
I met a (C)dancer on the strip and (G)fell in love with her
We (C)almost tied the knot when Elvis (C)asked, "Any objections?"
Her (C)mobster boyfriend busted in with an (G)AK-Forty-(C)Seven

(Chorus)
Guess it's (C)M-E-X-I-(F)C-O for me
Laid (C)up in the shade of a (G)coconut tree
And (C)love said, "Go to hell," but there's some-(F)where I'd rather (Fm)be
So it's (C)M-E-(F)X-I-(G)C-O for (C)me

(Bridge)
I made it (C)south of El Paso, met a (F)businesswoman (C)there
I (C)knew that she was rich, but (G)how, I didn't care
When the (C)cops kicked in the (C7)door, they found a (F)suitcase of co-(Fm)caine
She (C)took off with the (Am)Federales, and (G)I took all the (C)blame

(Chorus)
I guess it's (C)M-E-(Am)X-I-(F)C-O for me
From this (C)jail cell, I can't see one (G)coconut tree
And (C)love said, "Go to hell," and now I (F)can't ever (Fm)leave - - -
So it's (C)M-E-(F)X-I-(G)C-O for (C)me

(Outro.)
So it's (F)M-E-X-I-(G)C-O for (C)me - - - - -
