    D

[Intro] 
D  G  D

[Chorus]
    D              D
Your sweet and shiny eyes
               G             D
Are like the stars above Laredo
     G            D
Like meat and potatoes
    A
To me
      D               D
In my sweet dreams we are
     G
In a bar
            D
And it's my birthday
         G              A           G   D  G  D
Drinking salty marguaritas with Fernando

[Verse]
          A
Young and wild
              G              D
We drove 900 miles of Texas highway
        G       D
To the Mexican border
        A
As the day was comin' on
               G
We crossed the Rio Grande River
       D
And we swore we'd have things our way
                                 A     D
When we happened to walk in to Nuevo Leon

[Chorus]
    D              D
Your sweet and shiny eyes
               G             D
Are like the stars above Laredo
     G            D
Like meat and potatoes
    A
To me

      D               D
In my sweet dreams we are

     G
In a bar

            D
And it's my birthday
          G                   A
And we're having our picture taken
        G   D  G  D
With Fernando

[Solo] 
A  G  D  G  D  A  G  D  A  D

[Chorus]
      D               D
In my sweet dreams we are
     G
In a bar
            D
And it's my birthday
          G                   A
And we're having our picture taken
        G  D  G  D
With Fernando
