Calexico – Crystal Frontier (Guitar)

Am             E            Am
Marco's shadow falls on the door

E       Am         E         Am
 To the seven lost cities of gold

E        Am               E        Am
 Finds a raven's head and rattlers tail

E     Am     E            Am          E
 Dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's

  Dm                  F                 Am
Unwanted here and his curse lingers for years

 Am           E                Am
Amalia's face hides behind the mask

E Am              E          Am
  Sweating on the TV factory line

E      Am           E       Am
  That smile on her face is starting to crack

E      Am               E           Am        E
 While welding back the pieces of a shattered heart

       Dm                           F             Am
That's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers

Dm                          F                  Am     E
Searches for her lost child along the river of tears

Am                    E  Am
  The river of tears

G                         C
At the end of the working week

     E              Am
When drunken worlds meet

     G                     C
Both sides keeping a close eye

      Dm
For a break in the line here

E                   Am
 On the crystal frontier

(8 bars trumpets)

  Am           E              Am
Ramon tightens up his leather belt

E Am                 E           Am
  Slips on through a hole in the fence

E       Am         E         Am
 He can get you anything you want

E          Am         E     Am             E
 And might cost you a life, might cost you the whole

Dm                    F                    Am
Price of freedom here   on the crystal frontier

Dm                           F                Am     E
Searching for your lost love  on the river of tears

Am                    E  Am
  The river of tears

G                       C
Blood spills out on the streets

    E                      Am
And bodies are missing for weeks

     G                     C
Both sides keeping a close eye

                Dm
Watching the bullets fly here

E                   Am
 On the crystal frontier
