Chico The American Acordes

	  


Intro 

Am  G (x4) 



        Am 
We were martyred in the homes of our friends  

     G 
on a hard drinking decade of weekends  

   Am 
convinced that we were firing  

    G 
our lasers to the surface of the moon 

Am 
retreat to all the noise, out to the places that  

G 
we would go  

Am 
pound that pussy, bloody swollen cyst off with a  

G 
weather-treated two by four 

F 
praying for the singularity  

C                       G 
coming for to carry you home  

F 
one-time hero forgotten how  

   C                   G 
to carry your given load 




F                                    Am G      Dm  F 
Hey, hey, Doris Day send my love for me now  

F                                           Am G

Dm   F   Dm   F   Am   G   Am   G 




Am 
Chico the American taught me to drink clear  

      G 
which ushered in the Age of Gin and lead to the Gimlet Years 

        Am 
When he lobbed that crystal tumbler through the glass cooler door  

         G 
past the blues band in the strip mall with a barrel-chested roar  
       
       F                                  
it was just as funny but less blood    

          C         G 
than the ‘62 Dakota war  

F 
praying for the singularity  

C                       G 
coming for to carry you home
