[Verse]
D G D
Well now Billy Voltaire was a piano player up from Miami way
D D
He used to play in the bars, he could sound like the stars
E7 A7
Ladies would pay and pay
G D C G
One night he did wind up playin' in Havana town
G D A D
Nobody knew, least Billy Voltaire that these were his final sounds
[Verse]
D G D
He met up with Meritta, a dancer in from the Coast
D D
Half woman, half child, she drove him half wild
E7 A7
He loved that lady the most
G D C G
One night he did find her in the arms of Shrimper Dan
G D
So he pulled a knife, took poor Danny's life
A D
And then he turned his own cold hand
[Chorus]
D G
And it's just a Cuban crime of passion
D
Messy and old fashioned
A D
Yeah, that's what the papers did say
G
It's just a Cuban crime of passion
D
Anjejo and knives a slashin'
A A C
Yeah but that's what the people like to read about
A C D
Up in America, up in America
[Instrumental]

D G D
Well now they never found Meritta, some people say she got ill
D D
Billy Voltaire had no one to claim him,
E7 A7
he was buried on pauper's hill
G D C G
And no one talks about 'em no more, it happened just a week ago
G D
But people get by and people get high
A D
In the tropics they come and they go
[Chorus]
D G
And it's just a Cuban crime of passion
D
Messy and old fashioned
A D
Yeah, that's what the papers did say
G
It's just a Cuban crime of passion
D
Anjejo and knives a slashin'
A A C
Yeah but that's what the people like to read about
A C D
Up in America, up in America
