Switchblades Chords by Roger Clyne | Songsterr Tabs with Rhythm

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

A E A-fill

Went down to Mexico on the Fourth of July

I got a tattoo of a moth and a bEutterflyA

Had too much tDime to burn, a little money to spAend

So I bought a switchblade for eEach of my fAriends

Pablo and Dan had a plan said we gonna get rich

Put the double-cross on a double-crossin' narco snitch

Just a dirty little two man job, but it's a sure-fire win

Brother when we cut him down we gonna cut you in

Chorus

Yeah dumb and Ddrunk as I was ya know I'd do it all Aagain

Back when I bought a switchblade for Eeach of my fAriends

They were Dsharp enough to stab another hAole in the sEky

DHard enough to make the proudest dAiamond sEigh

DFaster than the rockets on the AFourth of JulEy

Strong and F♯mcruel enough to make aD statue oEf MarAy cry

They said amigo don't you worry now we're gonna dissappear

Just a couple of months, they said, it's been almost a year

And know that if you want that kinda money man you gotta stay brave

Federales are pullin' bodies out of shallow graves

Yeah dumb and drunk as we was ya know I'd do it all again

Back when I bought a switchblade for each of my friends

They were sharp enough to stab another hole in the sky

Hard enough to make the proudest diamond sigh

Faster than the rockets on the Fourth of July

Strong and cruel enough to make a statue of Mary cry

D A E x3

F♯m D A-fill

Later in the fall I got the call, "Boy won't ya come down?

Maybe put a name with a few unlucky faces we found"

Now no matter what I do can't get my heart to mend

Somebody buried a switchblade in each of my friends

Yeah dumb and drunk as we were ya know I'd do it all again

Before I buried a switchblade with each of my friends

They were sharp enough to stab another hole in the sky }
