Corrido Por Buddy by Jolie Holland
Corrido Por Buddy
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
G C F Am G7
Oh, listen my dear friends and I'll tell you a story
C Am G7 G
About someone I barely knew at all
C F Dm G7
He was a friend of my friends and they told me about him
C Dm G7
How he had nothing to break his fall
G C F Dm G7
He had that bad religion in his blood
F Am Dm G7
The kind that brings you down and can never lift you up
G F G7 C
He was a beautiful young man on the streets of Austin
C F G7 C
He was a ghost faced junkie on the streets of New Orleans
C F Am G
I could barely recognize him when I saw him
C F Am F Dm G7
He had to look me in the face and say my name before I knew it was him
C F C Dm G
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
Dm Am F Am
What if they only gave you love when you lied?
Dm Am F Am
It's bound to really rip you up inside
F Am F Dm
Pressures a person into that horrible mouth that leaves a bloody aftermath
Dm G
Everything minus one is everything
F G7 C
He treated me with what I considered kindness
F G7 C
When I crawled off to sleep in my car he was worried about me
F G7 C
When we payed our respects to the moon on the outskirts of Austin
Dm Am Dm C G7
I'm sorry to say I was too shy to stay in touch with him
G7 Am F C G
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
Dm Am F Am
And I wonder what it takes just to save one little life
F Am Dm Am G7
Icarus almost made it back to the shore
Dm Am F Am
When I was really down, there were three little words
F Am Dm G7
From a couple of good people that kept me holding on
F C Dm G
Oh buddy, I'll never get a chance again
F C Dm G
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
F C Dm G
Oh buddy, I'll never get a chance again
F C Dm G
Oh buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend
