Bajo Sexto

(início)

Am                                    Dm
I heard he played the deathnail for a big band,
E                              Am
He drank himself into an early grave.
Am                               Dm
He carried a gun and a bottle of tequila,
E                                  Am
His fingers flew like fire when he played.
F                           C
Play the bajo sexto now for Johnny,
E                                Am
Play it slowly, play it soft and low.
F                           C
Play the bajo sexto now for Johnny,
E                            Am
Johnny‘s laying down now six below.
Am                                    Dm
He played for women and he played for money,
E                                      Am
He took their silver and he took their fame.
Am                                 Dm
He followed them into their secret bedrooms.
E                                    Am
He made the wildest cats go calm and tame.
F                           C
Play the bajo sexto now for Johnny,
E                                Am

Am                                     Dm
At last he danced with a lady, who was taken,
E                                  Am
He twirled her once to many on the floor.
Am                           Dm
Her husband was man of great importance,
E                        Am
Now Johnny isn’t dancing anymore.
