I spun a bottle on a map to tell us which way to go,
CAm
now I'm hell-bound south in that Hermosillo.
CmDD7
Got the ashes of my best friend in a cremation jar,
GCD
on the shotgun seat of the car.
G
Got the top chopped off, got the windows down.
CAm
One last tour through our happy happy hunting grounds.
Cm
Though we never made a kill,
DD7GCD
that was never really what we came down here for.
Am
So give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
Bm
did you go down laughing when you finally fell.
D
We had tales to tell we had songs to sing.
Did you get your horns or did they give you wings,
well either works just as well.
Ashes of San Miguel
GCAmCmDD7GCDG
Well its a hundred and one under this fanatical sun.
CAm
The black-eyed federales dripping sweat on their machine guns sayin'
CmDD7GCD
"drive on slow gringo, you ain't as important as you think you are."
G
I got a box of firecrackers and liquor to go,
CAm
Vamanos amigo, para Bahia Kino
CmDD7
Well everything is here, from the pesos to the beer,
GCD
still no sign of your ghost.
Am
So give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
Bm
did you go down laughing when you finally fell.
D
We had tales to tell we had songs to sing.
Did you get your horns or did they give you wings,
well either works just as well.
Ashes of San Miguel
AmGEm
The desert's lovely, dark, and deep.
G
And I got no more promises left to keep.
D
But why tell me why, I got to drain the bottle dry,
CGD
Before I can cry, before I can cry over you
GCAmCmDD7GCDG
Well there's bones on the beach, and there's ashes in the jar,
CAm
a ghost in the air laughing at fools at the bar.
CmDD7GCD
And inside there's a river that don't run to the sea no more.
G
Life is cheap here, and death is rich.
CAm
They finally got you lucky son of a bitch.
CmDD7G
If I could do it again I'd cry out loud at your hospital bed.
Am
So give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
Bm
did you hit the ground laughing when you finally fell.
DCGD
We had tales to tell we had songs to sing.
CGD
Did you get your horns or did they give you wings,
well either works just as well.
