My Companjera

guitar chords lyrics

Gogol Bordello

In essence not such a difficult song, but listen to the record to get the guitar rhythm
and timing right. I made this partly by watching/listening a live radio performance
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbdxI1Oh7kM) which is guitar and voice only, making it
easier to figure out but also making it a little different. This version might also
help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jADQ91fKRPQ&NR=1
Its gypsy punk so he plays whatever he thinks fits in, like changing (low) E and
(higher) E7. I found it quite useful when trying to get this song down. Listen to the
song for
the changes and everything, hope it helps!

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
I'm at my final down

Am F
We stepped together in the river
G E7
We traded fever on turmoil
Am F
Last time I saw you was in the middle
G E
So did you ever reach the soil

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
Who took you from the nest?

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
I'm at my final down
Down (violin goes wild)

Am F G E/E7
My final down

Am F
Like through the muzzle came my surrender
G E7
I had to tear it off my mind
Am F
Them hypothermia took over
G E7
And suddenly I went blind

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
Who took you from the nest?

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?

G E7
I'm at my final down
Am F G E
My final down
Am F G E
My final down

(Guitar solo)

Am F
Eat and sleep without desire
G E
Would you like window or aisle?
Am F
Oh, miss sky, you ever seen
G E7
Warrior that's more fragile
Am F
Jetlag, hangover, malnutrition
G E
You can't fly in this condition
Am F
And if no one intervenes
G E7
Out of the window is my mission

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E
Who took you from the nest?

Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E7
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?

G E
I'm at my final down. Daaaaa

Am F G E
My final down
My final down
My final down

Finish with something like this: Em Cm Bm Gm
F E
