In essence not such a difficult song, but listen to the record to get the guitar rhythm
and timing right. I made this partly by watching/listening a live radio performance
easier to figure out but also making it a little different. This version might also
help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jADQ91fKRPQ&NR=1
Its gypsy punk so he plays whatever he thinks fits in, like changing (low) E and
(higher) E7. I found it quite useful when trying to get this song down. Listen to the
song for
the changes and everything, hope it helps!

Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E I'm beating bricks from town to town Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E7 I'm at my final down Am F We stepped together in the river G E7 We traded fever on turmoil Am F Last time I saw you was in the middle G E So did you ever reach the soil Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E Your baby claw stuck in my chest Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E7 Who took you from the nest? Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E I'm beating bricks from town to town Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E7 I'm at my final down
Down (violin goes wild)
Am F G E/E7 My final down Am F Like through the muzzle came my surrender G E7 I had to tear it off my mind Am F Them hypothermia took over G E7 And suddenly I went blind Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E Your baby claw stuck in my chest Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E7 Who took you from the nest? Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E I'm beating bricks from town to town Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E7 I'm at my final down Am F G E My final down Am F G E My final down
(Guitar solo)
Am F Eat and sleep without desire G E Would you like window or aisle? Am F Oh, miss sky, you ever seen G E7 Warrior that's more fragile Am F Jetlag, hangover, malnutrition G E You can't fly in this condition Am F And if no one intervenes G E7 Out of the window is my mission Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E Your baby claw stuck in my chest Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E Who took you from the nest? Am F Where are you now my companjera? G E7 I'm beating bricks from town to town Am F Where are you now my sonidera? G E I'm at my final down. Daaaaa Am F G E My final down
