These chords are not necessarily correct, I picked all this up
by ear, so I could be wrong. If you find errors, or want to
make any other comments, please e-mail me. This is a great
song - thanks to STP for it, and hope you enjoy playing it!

Basic progressions:
E F#m G F#m(sus4)
(note: Am here can have the 9th added for emphasis, to Am9,
and barre chords can be substituted for different effect...
I have not tabbed out all the barre chords above - if you can
play them, you probably know them already)

x2
She lives in a bungalow
She kills me with rose garden thorns
She waits for me
My love is unusual
it's painted with roses and thorns
with her I'm complete
Chorus:
She lives by the wall
And waits by the door
She walks in the sun
To me
She lives by the wall
And waits by the door
She walks in the sun
To me
Visions of Mexico seduce me
it goes to my head so carefully
Memories of candles and incense
and all of these things...
remember these?
Chorus
She comforts me when
the candles blow out
The cake has grown mold
but the memories are sweet
The laughter's all gone
but the memories are mine
The Mexican princess is
out of my life

Play twice
Then play over chorus
(play arpeggiation total of seven times over lyrics...
play normal chord progression for chorus if playing chords)
Repeat, fade out...
