Verse 1
(C major) Nursing a Negro Modelo
I look across the plaza to the (G major) church
Battered by rain and neglect
Its eight (C major) bells like stout
(G major) pigeon (C major) s perched
Verse 2
It's late (C major) evening but muggy
cnd from the balcony I can
almost (G major) touch
The fat electric wires
Through which I hear the current rush
(C major)
Verse 3
(G major) The (C major) beer is warm and sour
But it cost me less than a (G major) dollar
Kate comes out to see me
I remember when I first (C major) (G major) saw (C major) her
Verse 4
I pictured (C major) us in Tampico
In a hammock on the (G major) beach
But I quickly realized (C major)
She's as self- centered (G major)
as (C major) me
Verse 5
I'm sufficiently (C major) reticent
To drive her back into the (G major) bar
The police below are busy
Harassing each passing
(C major) car
Interlude 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) (E minor) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major)
(G major)
Verse 6
Then a (C major) man on a bike
Turns the corner below, fall (G major) s flat
Not even sticking a foot out
cnd the police get a good (C major) laugh
(G major) (C major)
Verse 7
The man stumbles up
Throw his leg over the (G major) bike
Then he stares up at me
cnd he's drunk, all (C major) right
Interlude 2
(C major) (G major) (C major) (C sharp major)
Verse 8
But his (D major) look is steady, serious,
and has a dark (G major) pull
That makes (D major) me feel complicit in
something terrible (G major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) Though (D major) I'm (C major) not sure (E minor) what or (C major) why (F major) (G major)
cnd in this huge, (C major)
awful mo (E major) ment his eyes (F major) (G major)
(D minor) Two fat (C major) (D major) spiders (B minor) (D major) crawl inside (G major) me (F major) (E minor) and
leave (D major) (G major) their (D major) (C major) (E major) (F major) (G major) (C major) eggs
Interlude 3
(C major) (E minor) (C major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 9
I return (C major) to the bar
For another beer (G major)
csk Kate to dance
Outro 1
cnd hold her near
(C major) (G major) (C major)
