I [Em]met a girl in east LA in [B7]floral shorts as sweet as May
She [Em]sang in eighths and two barre-o [B7]chords
We fell in [B7]love but not in court

Mi [B7]córazon me duele por mi [Em]generación
If you [Em]love me, we can marry on the [B7]west coast
On a [B7]Wednesday en el verano en [Em]agosto

In the [Em]mountains, las campanas están [B7]sonando
Todos los [B7]chicos y los chicos están [Em]besando
