Saw Kim Richey play an acoustic version of this song and immediately fell in 
love with it. Great Song! Here's my best guess at it....

C/E-  020010

Listen to the song for timing...

C        C/E      Am7        G 
I had a match, but she had a lighter, 
F 
I had a flame, but she had a fire 
C       C/E       Am7         G 
I was bright but she was much brighter, 
F 
I was high, but she was the sky 
F        G               C        Am7 
Oh Baby, I was bound for mexico, 
F        G               C  C/E Am7          F      
Oh Baby, I was bound to let-you-gooooooo oh oh, 
F Am7 G         C    C/E   Am7   G   F 
la la la, la da da.        Oh No, Alright! 

Same pattern goes for the rest of the song.... 

I don't know much about cinco de mayo 
I'm never sure what its all about, 
But I'd say I want you, and you don't believe me, 
You say you want me but I've got my doubts 

Oh Baby, I was bound for mexico, 
Oh Baby, I was bound to let you go oh oh oh 

Horn solo 

I had a match, but she had a lighter, 
I had a flame, but she had a fire 
I was bright but she was much brighter, 
I was high, but she was the sky 

Oh Baby, I was bound for mexico, 
Oh Baby, I was bound to let you go
