Guitar chords with lyrics

G and A during verses sound better as barre chords.

          D              A                      Bm
  Born down in El Paso    where the tumbleweeds blow
 G                                  F#m
  To the middleweight champ of all Mexico
    Em                                       F#m   Em
  Dad fought many bloody battles and raised four sons
 Bm                   Bm      A
  Chavo was the oldest one
      D                            A      Bm
  Old man Gory could pop like a live grenade
  G                 F#m                Em
  Raised his boys in the way of the trade
  Em                              F#m
  Hector and Mando, young Eddie G
  Bm                        A
  Chavo meant the most to me

  Chavo Guerrero
  G                  Asus4  A
  Coming off the top rope

  D                            A       Bm
  He came from Texas seeking fortune and fame
  G                          F#m         Em
  Rose pretty quickly to the top of his game
  Em                                          F#m  Bm
  Defender of the downtrodden, king of the hill
  Bm                               A   D
  Tag-team champion with Al Madril
  D                                   A            Bm
  Before a black and white TV in the middle of the night
  G                           F#m               Em7
  I'm lying on the floor, I'm bathed in blue light
  Em7                                             F#m
  With the telecast in Spanish, I can understand some
             Bm                                A
  And I need justice in my life, here it comes

  Coming off the top rope

  Red Shoes Dugan
              Am
  Holding his arm high all out of breath
  F                      E
  I hated all of Chavo's enemies
  Am
  I would pray nightly for their death
  F                Em
  Descending like fire
            Am
  On the people who deserved it most
  F                 E
  Always completely unknown
           A
  Outside of Texas and the West Coast

            D                A     Bm
  He was my hero back when I was a kid
  G                        F#m           Em
  You let me down but Chavo never once did
  Em                                               F#m
  You called him names to try to get beneath my skin
  Bm                                      Asus4
  Now your ashes are scattered on the wind
              D                  A        Bm
  I heard his son got famous, he went nationwide
  G                          F#m          Em
  Coast-to-coast with his dad by his side
  Em                            F#m
  I don't know if that's true but I've been told
  Bm                        Asus4
  It's real sweet to grow old

       D
  Look high
      Em7        G
  It's my last hope
  D        Em7
  Chavo Guerrero
