Am      G       Am
Buenos Tardes, Amigo

Am      G       Am
Hola, my good friend

Am      G       Dm
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday

Am      Em      Am
And I'd hope we'd see each other again

 
[Verse 2]

Am      G       Am
You killed my brother last winter

Am      G       Am
You shot him three times in the back

Am      G       Dm
In the night, I still hear mama weeping

Am      G       Am
oh mama still dresses in black

 
[Verse 3]

Am      G       Am
I looked at every fiesta

Am      G       Am
For you I wanted to greet

Am      G       Dm
Maybe I'd sell you a chicken

Am      G       Am
With poison interlaced in the meat
 

[Verse 4]

Am      G       Am
You you look like my brother

Am      G       Am
Mama loved him the best

Am      G       Dm
He was head honcho with the ladies

Am      G       Am
Mama always said he was blessed
 

[Verse 5]

Am      G       Am
The village all gathered around him

Am      G       Am
They couldn't believe what they saw

Am      G       Dm
I said it was you that had killed him

Am      G       Am
And that I'd find you and upstand the law

 
[Verse 6]

Am      G       Am
People of the village believed me

Am      G       Am
Mama she wanted revenge

Am      G       Dm
I told her that I would see that she was honored

Am      G       Am
That I'd find you and put you to death

 
[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 7]

Am      G       Am
Now, now that I've found you

Am      G       Am
On this such a joyous day

Am      G       Dm
I tell you it was me that had killed him

Am      G       Am
But the truth shall never be known


[Verse 1 Repeat]
