The Ashes Of San Miguel

[G]  [C]  [Am]  [Cm]  [D] [D7]  [G]  [C]  [D]
I spun a [G]bottle on a map to tell us which way to go,
now I'm[C] hell-bound south in tha[Am]t Hermosillo.
Got the [Cm]ashes of my best friend in a [D]cremation [D7]jar,
on the[G] shotgun seat of the car. [C]    [D]
Got the [G]top chopped off, got the windows down.
[C]One last tour through our [Am]happy happy hunting grounds.
Though we [Cm]never made a kill,
that was [D]never really [D7]what we came [G]down here for.[C]   [D]

So [Am]give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
did you [Bm]go down laughing when you finally fell.
We had [D]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.

Well its a [G]hundred and one under this fanatical sun.
The [C]black-eyed federales dripping [Am]sweat on their machine guns sayin'
"[Cm]drive on slow grin[D]go, you ain't as imp[D7]ortant as you [G]think you are." [C]    [D]
I got a [G]box of firecrackers and liquor to go,
[C]Vamanos amigo, para B[Am]ahia Kino
Well [Cm]everything is here, from the [D]pesos to the [D7]beer,
still no [G]sign of your ghost.  [C]     [D]

So [Am]give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
did you [Bm]go down laughing when you finally fell.
We had [D]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.

[Am]  [G]

The [Em]desert's lovely, dark, and deep.
And [G]I got no more promises left to keep.
But [D]why tell me why, I got to drain the bottle dry,
[C]  Be[G]fore [D]I can cry, before I can cry over you

[G]  [C]  [Am]  [Cm]  [D] [D7]  [G]  [C]  [D]

Well there's [G]bones on the beach, and there's ashes in the jar,
a [C]ghost in the air laughing at [Am]fools at the bar.
And [Cm]inside there's a river[D] that don't [D7]run to the [G]sea no more.[C]   [D]
[G]Life is cheap here, and death is rich.
They [C]finally got you lucky [Am]son of a bitch.
If [Cm]I could do it again I'd [D]cry out [D7]loud at your [G]hospital bed.

So [Am]give me a sign amigo, can you tell me,
did you [Bm]hit the ground laughing when you finally fell.
We had [D]tales to tell we had songs to sing.[C]   [G]      [D]
Did you get your horns or did they give you wings,[C]   [G]      [D]
well either works just as well.
