VERSE 1:
D                D6sus4
 Down in Piedras Negras
D                    D6sus4
 You gotta watch yourself
D                             D6sus4
 There's a whole lotta hungry people
D                      D6sus4
 Looking to share some wealth
D                         D6sus4
 And when the oil field's busted
D                     D6sus4
 And the peso takes a dive
D             D6sus4
 Stay off the side streets
D                    D6sus4
 If you want to come back alive


CHORUS 1:
A11/E
 Yo no busco nada
A11/E
 I'm just standing here
A11/E
 Minding my own business
A11/E
 Gonna get back out of here
D (intro riff)
 Back to the safe side


VERSE 2:
 At the base of the bar stool
 There's a drain in the floor
 You better not go in there
 If you don't know what that's for
 It's no place to take a lady
 She'll get the evil eye
 Sizing up their prospects
 Sharpening up their knives


CHORUS 2:
 No me gusta nada
 Yo no quiero ver
 Once I get across this river
 I'm never gonna go back there
 I'm staying on the safe side
 Staying on the safe side


SOLO: (chords as for chorus)


CHORUS 3:
 Yo no fumo mota
 No lo quiero ver
 Once I get across this river
 I'm never gonna go back there


VERSE 3:
 Up in San Antonio
 All the pretty people know
 They better stay off the west side
 Where the black tar flows
 G they hide in sheltered enclaves
 Up around Olmos Park
 They've got their own policemen
 G they can stay out after dark
 Back down in Piedras Negras
 The children play with dirt
 We keep our pistols loaded
 G we don't get hurt


CHORUS 4: (repeat and fade)
 No importa a nadie
 It's always been that way
 It's never gonna get no different
 Long as we've got our say
 We stay on the safe side


CHORDS:
D       000000

G       5555xx
A       7777xx
D6sus4  020100
A11/E   202100
