Cecilia
from Poor Man's Son (Lava Records)
Carne con Papas/EMI Publishing
Intro (8 counts):
[G5]
Gypsy [G5]woman
Come inside now
And take a [D]load [C]off your [G5]feet
You've been pounding the pavement
Ain't told a [D]fortu[C]ne in [G5]weeks
She spends her money on tequila
She [D]says it [C]keeps her [G5]warm
They call her many things but her name's Cecilia
Now don't you [D]know, now d[C]on't you know
[G]Hey hey h[C]ey h[D]ey Ce[G]cilia
Don't you k[C]now the st[D]reets will k[G]ill ya
Don't you k[C]now your m[D]ama miss[G]es ya
Don't you k[C]now don[D]'t you know
G5 (8 counts)
Gypsy [G5]woman
Say she don't need ya
And asks for a r[D]ide to the[C] liquor store[G5]
She kills the bottle
Gives praise to Jesus
Then passes o[D]ut on your [C]living room fl[G5]oor
She tells the story of a shotgun wedding
And the bi[D]rth of a [C]stillborn ch[G5]ild
She was only 13 and her body wasn't ready
D (once)
Babies watching babies die
[G]Hey hey h[C]ey h[D]ey Ce[G]cilia
