                          C  
(1st Chorus)  Pour me another tequila, Sheila. 
                  G 
Take off that red satin dress. 
 
I crossed the border, and I beat the dealer, 
    G7                      C 
For all the damn gold in Juarez. 
 
I feel like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila. 
             C7        F 
And I sure could use me a friend. 
                     C      A7 
So pour me another tequila, Sheila, 
    D7             G        C 
And lay down and love me again. 
 
             C 
(1st Verse)  No I can't tell you about it. 
                         G7 
Don't mind the gun by my bed. 
 
I feel kinda naked without it, 
                             C 
And it eases the fears in my head. 
 
So just pass me the salt and the lemon, 
              C7           F 
Bend down and blow out the light. 
                   C      A7 
I never have trusted the women, 
    D7             G           C 
but Sheila, I'll trust you tonight. 
 
           C 
(2nd Chorus)  Pour me another tequila, Sheila. 
                  G 
Take off that red satin dress. 
 
I crossed the border, and I beat the dealer 
    G7                      C 
For all the damn gold in Juarez. 
                                  
I feel like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila, 
            C7       F 
And I got the pesos to spend 
                     C      A7 
So pour me another tequila, Sheila, 
    D7             G        C 
And lay down and love me again. 
 
 
(2nd Verse ? Chord change to D) 
D 
Sheila I'm hearin' your heartbeat, 
                             A7 
But I'm hearing footsteps outside. 
 
The courtyard is crawlin' with them Federalis. 
                        D 
And Sheila, there's no place to hide. 
 
I don't know who could have tipped 'em. 
       D7         G 
Nobody knew it but you. 
 
But I can't make love to a squealer, Sheila 
     E7                 A7           D 
So I guess there's just one thing to do.  Yeah! 
 
            D 
(3rd Chorus)  Pour me another tequila, Sheila. 
                        A7 
I'm gonna put on your red satin dress. 
 
You put on my clothes, and you go out and face the dealer 
                    D 
And Sheila I wish you the best. 
 
I feel like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila. 
            D7        G 
I need a fast horse and a friend. 
                 D         B7 
So pour me another tequila Sheila, 
         E7          A7      D 
And I'll run for the border again. 
      G             D      B7 
Yeah, pour me another tequila, Sheila 
         E7          A7      D 
And I'll run for the border again.
