[Verse 1]
Em                              G
    There was a casino out in Vegas
Em                                G
    Had a million dollars on the wall
Em                             G
    Got my imagination workin' overtime
C                           Em
    I knew I had to have it all
C                           G
    I knew I had to have it all
 
[Verse 2]
Em                                     G
    Sherrie was a dancer; she was a schemer
Em                                G
    We came up with a fool-proof plan
Em                              G
    She was workin' it from the inside
C                     Em
    I was her getaway man
C                          G
    yeah I was her getaway man
 
[Chorus]
           D                   Em
Takin' it deep down into Mexico
            C                          Em
No turnin' back once you go down that road
           D                         Em
Just one place for a desperate Desperado to go
 C              Em
Deep down into Mexico
 C               G
Deep down into Mexico
 
[Verse 3]
Em                                      G
    It all went smooth and sweet like honey
Em                                G
    We got it all and nobody got hurt
Em                                        G
    Me and Sherrie, we were countin' our money
C                                          Em
    When that little gun slide out of her purse
C                                          G
    Yeah that little gun slide out of her purse
 
[Verse 4]
Em                                     G
    That's when she told me 'bout her lover
Em                                          G
    That's when I knew I was in a terrible mess
Em                                      G
    She took the blame and he took the money
C                          Em
    I took a bullet in my chest
C                           G
    I took a bullet in my chest
 
[Chorus]
 D                  Em
Deep down into Mexico
            C                          Em
No turnin' back once you go down that road
           D                         Em
Just one place for a desperate Desperado to go
    C                 Em
Is deep down into Mexico
 C                  G
Deep down into Mexico
    C                 Em
Is deep down into Mexico
 C                  G
Deep down into Mexico

This is correct, except the album version is down 1/2 step... key of Eb minor.
