Cancion Mixteca by Ry Cooder - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Ry Cooder Song List
Version 1
            Written, recorded by José López Alavéz and covered by 
     Ry Cooder for the soundtrack to Paris Texas.

     I know the tab part is not 100%, but sounds pretty ok'ish,
     think of it as a base to start on, or to leave out.

     As always, any mistakes are mine, if you spot some, let me
     know and I'll sort it out.
     And don't forget to stick your CAPO on the SECOND FRET

     This is an easy version, when you feel like steping up,
     grab your slide and head to:

     English translation

     How far am I from the land where I was born

     Immense nostalgia invades my thoughts

     And seeing myself so alone and sad, Like a leaf in the wind

     I want to cry,  I want to die, Of grief


     Oh! Land of the sun, I sigh to see you so far away

     Now, So far away,  I live without light,  Without love


      C/B = X20010

     And if you, like this, use this, copy this, hate this,
     
         take time to ** RATE THIS  **
                                           Thanks,  flatwound

      G                      G                 D7
       Que lejos estoy del suelo,   Donde he nacido
         D7                                    G
       Inmensa nostalgia invade,    Mi pensamiento
            G                                        C  C/B Am
       Al verme tan solo y triste,   Cual hoja al viento
          D7      G                D7              G
       Quisiera llorar,  Quisiera morir,  De sentimento

                      D7                  G                  D7
       Oh tierra del sol,   Suspiro por verte,   Ahora que lejos
           D7                 G
       Yo vivo, Sin luz, Sin amor

            G                                        C  C/B Am
       Al verme tan solo y triste,   Cual hoja al viento
          D7      G                D7              G
       Quisiera llorar,  Quisiera morir,  De sentimento

          D7      G                D7              G
       Quisiera llorar,  Quisiera morir,  De sentimento

                      D7                  G                 D7
       Oh tierra del sol,   Suspiro por verte,   Ahora que lejos

       Quisiera llorar,  Quisiera morir,  De sentimento
