:Solo over chord changes to verses.

You can jazz this tune up a little by substituting
chords: Fm9 for Cm6 or F9
G13b9 for G7b9
G13 for G7#9
Etc…nice tune to solo over with minor pentatonic.

I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
I got the money for chicken she got to blow the goose.

CHORUS
She?s living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come (unplanned)?
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
She?s out there living it up and I?m trying to live it down

I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometimes you get her honey sometimes all you get is her sting

CHORUS
She?s living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
She?s out there living it up and trying to live it down

She?s living it up and I intend to live it down

Sherrie was a dancer; she was a schemer (the same chords
We came it with a fool-proof plan
She was workin’ it from the inside
I was her getaway man Yeah,
I was her getaway man
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/delbert_mcclinton/down_into_mexico_crd.html )
chorus:
Takin’ it deep down into Mexico
No turnin’ back once you go down that road
Just one place for a desperate Desperado to go
Take it deep down into Mexico

Take it deep down into Mexico
It all went smooth and sweet like honey
We got it all and nobody got hurt
Me and Sherrie, we were countin’ our money
When that gun slide out of her purse
When that gun slide out of her purse

That’s when she told me ‘bout her lover man
That’s when I knew I was in a terrible mess
She took the blame; he took the money
I took a bullet in my chest
I took a bullet in my chest

Enjoy the great song.Joko Ratković somewhere on the road to
