FCG The champion of the world.

G/DD' GD
|--7----5----3----2--- |--------------------- 
G/DD' GD I like to spend some time in Mozambique
G/DD' GD The sunny sky is aqua blue
G/DD' GD And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
CGD It's very nice to stay a week or two,
CGD And maybe fall in love just me and you.
 Or maybe say hello with just a glance. 
BmF#m Lying next to her by the ocean
EmD Reaching out and touching her hand,
BmF#m Whispering your secret emotion
GA Magic in a magical land.
And when it's time for leaving Mozambique 
Am Your breath is sweet
G Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
F Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
E On the pillow where you lie.
Am But I don't sense affection
G No gratitude or love
F Your loyalty is not to me
E But to the stars above.
 
FE One more cup of coffee for the road,
FE One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
Am To the valley below.
GBmC (/B Am) G Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
GEmCG You should not treat me like a stranger.
GBmC (/BAm) G Our Father would not like the way that you act
GEmCG And you must realize the danger.
 To love and follow His direction? 
FC We grew up together
G From the cradle to the grave
FC We died and were reborn
GD (/c-B-a) And then mysteriously saved.
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door, 
GFCG x2
CDCG Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
CDCG Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
CDCG Always on the outside of whatever side there was
EmG When they asked him why it had to be that way,
C /BAm "Well," he answered, "just because."
 It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue. 
GCAm Joey, Joey,
GEmC King of the streets, child of clay.
GCAm Joey, Joey,
GFCAm What made them want to come and blow you away?
 
GFCG x2 There was talk they killed their rivals, but the truth was far from that
No one ever knew for sure where they were really at. 
D
DA Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
GD Dust on my face and my cape,
A Me and Magdalena on the run
GD I think this time we shall escape.
 And I'll play for Magdalena as we ride. 
A No llores, mi querida
 Dios nos vigila 
GD Soon the horse will take us to Durango.
A Agarrame, mi vida
 Soon the desert will be gone 
GD Soon you will be dancing the fandango.
Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people 
Em Up on the white veranda
CG She wears a necktie and a Panama hat.
Em Her passport shows a face
C From another time and place
G She looks nothin' like that.
BmC DC And all the remnants of her recent past
C/B G Are scattered in the wild wind.
Bm She walks across the marble floor
CDCC/b Where a voice from the gambling room
G is callin' her to come on in.
BmAm She smiles, walks the other way
C /BAmGD(/f#) C As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
C /B AmG From Black Diamond Bay.
EmAm I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
DEm When the children were babies and played on the beach.
EmAm You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
DEm You were always so close and still within reach.
G BmAm Sara, Sara,
DCEm Whatever made you want to change your mind?
G BmAm Sara, Sara,
DCEm So easy to look at, so hard to define.
