Carmelita Lyrics
by Warren Zevon
This is one of the songs off his devut album Warren Zevon. He is the only artist who
write a touching love song involving herion. This should be pretty much right. There
be another chorus repeated during the solo. I can't quite remember. But here's what I know.

Verse 1:
Acoustic 2 (Contiune Rhythm throughout)
I hear mariachi static on my radio and the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada and I'm here in Echo Park
Chorus:
Carmelita____ hold_ me tighter____ I think I'm sinking___ down
And I'm all strung out__ on herion on the out - skirts of town
Verse 2:
Well I'm sitting here playing solitare with my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone and they cut off your
welfare check
Chorus:
Carmelita____ hold_ me tighter____ I think I'm sinking___ down
And I'm all strung out__ on herion on the out - skirts of town

Well I pawned my Smith Corona And I went to meet my man

And I'm all strung out__ on herion on the out - skirts of town
