We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart's in Mexico My muñequita Abre tus ojos With your new suit, and your black tie Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like I broke to the right and I caught your eye Shut your mouth and wave goodbye Tonight, I am not going to let you rain on this parade Chorus: And I said hold tight Can't you see that it's hurting me But I've got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Straight-faced with misery tonight And I will not lie when I say I am not cold no more But I've got the buzz Like Greta Garbo Walking forwards in the sun And I've got a coat tail left to ride Well uh oh I know he's going to be there tonight You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A A#  C  C#  D  Dm  E  Em  F  G  G#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
