C# G# C# G#
He lay his blanket underneath the freeway
C# G# C#
as the evening sky grew dark
G# C# G#
took a sniff of toncho from his coke can
D# C#
and headed through Balboa Park
G# C# G#
where the men in Mercedes
C# G# C#
come nightly to employ
G# C# G#
in the cool San Diego evening
D# C# | C# G# | C# G# | D# | C# G#
the services of the border boys
C# G# C#
He grew up near the zona norte
G# C# G# C#
with the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with
G# C# G#
he swallowed their balloons of cocaine
D# C#
brought 'em cross the 12th street strip
G# C# G#
sleeping in a shelter
C# G# C#
if the night got too cold
G# C# G#
runnin' from the migra
D# C# | C# G# | C# G# | D# | C# G#
of the border patrol
C# G# C# G#
Past the Salvage yard 'cross the train tracks
C# G# C#
and in through the storm drain
G# C# G#
they stretched their blankets out neath the freeway
D# C#
and each one took a name
C# G#
there was x-man and cochese
C# G# C#
little spider his sneakers covered in river mud
C# G#
they come north to California
D# C# | C# G# | C# G# | D# | C#
end up with the poison in their blood
Fm7 G#
He did what he had to do for money
D# C#
sometimes he sent home what he could spare
Fm7 C#
the rest went to hi-top sneakers and toncho
G# D# G#
and jeans like the gavatchos wear
C# G# C# G#
one night the border patrol swept 12th street
C# G# C#
a big car come fast down the boulevard
G# C# G#
spider stood caught in it's headlights
D# C#
got hit and went down hard
C# G# C# G#
as the car sped away spider held his stomach
C# G# C#
limped to his blanket 'neath the underpass
G# C# G#
lie there tasting his own blood on his tongue
D#
closed his eyes and listened to the cars
C# G# | C# | G#
rushin by so fast
C# G# D# Fm7
