Verse 1
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
This pattern remains constant throughout the song.
Verse 2
You killed my brother last winter
You shot him three times in the back
In the night, I still hear mama weeping
oh mama still dresses in black
Verse 3
I looked at every fiesta
For you I wanted to greet
Maybe I’d sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced in the meat
Verse 4
You you look like my brother
Mama loved him the best
He was head honcho with the ladies
Mama always said he was blessed
Verse 5
The village all gathered around him
They couldn’t believe what they saw
I said it was you that had killed him
And that I’d find you and upstand the law
Verse 6
People of the village believed me
Mama she wanted revenge
I told her that I would see that she was honored
That I’d find you and put you to death
