G# D# G# D#
He lay his blanket underneath the freeway
G# D# G#
as the evening sky grew dark
D# G# D#
took a sniff of toncho from his coke can
A# G#
and headed through Balboa Park
D# G# D#
where the men in Mercedes
G# D# G#
come nightly to employ
D# G# D#
in the cool San Diego evening
A# G# | G# D# | G# D# | A# | G# D#
the services of the border boys
G# D# G#
He grew up near the zona norte
D# G# D# G#
with the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with
D# G# D#
he swallowed their balloons of cocaine
A# G#
brought 'em cross the 12th street strip
D# G# D#
sleeping in a shelter
G# D# G#
if the night got too cold
D# G# D#
runnin' from the migra
A# G# | G# D# | G# D# | A# | G# D#
of the border patrol
G# D# G# D#
Past the Salvage yard 'cross the train tracks
G# D# G#
and in through the storm drain
D# G# D#
they stretched their blankets out neath the freeway
A# G#
and each one took a name
G# D#
there was x-man and cochese
G# D# G#
little spider his sneakers covered in river mud
G# D#
they come north to California
A# G# | G# D# | G# D# | A# | G#
end up with the poison in their blood
Cm7 D#
He did what he had to do for money
A# G#
sometimes he sent home what he could spare
Cm7 G#
the rest went to hi-top sneakers and toncho
D# A# D#
and jeans like the gavatchos wear
G# D# G# D#
one night the border patrol swept 12th street
G# D# G#
a big car come fast down the boulevard
D# G# D#
spider stood caught in it's headlights
A# G#
got hit and went down hard
G# D# G# D#
as the car sped away spider held his stomach
G# D# G#
limped to his blanket 'neath the underpass
D# G# D#
lie there tasting his own blood on his tongue
A#
closed his eyes and listened to the cars
G# D# | G# | D#
rushin by so fast
G# D# A# Cm7
