Adios Sui Generis Vol III

        Argentinean folk-rock band Sui Generis was formed in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1971 by singer, guitarist, and keyboardist Charly Garc&iacute;a and singer/instrumentalist Nito Mestre, who met while being high school students. Their first record, called Vida, was released in 1972, followed by 1973's Confesiones de Invierno. The following year, bassist Rinaldo Rafanelli and drummer Juan Rodríguez joined the act, soon recording Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre Las Instituciones. Due to internal discrepancies, the group decided to perform for the last time at Buenos Aires' Luna Park on September 5, 1975.

es que nunca me gusto la sociedad.

Oh, lluvia de abril

Hubo un tiempo en que fui hermoso

y fui libre de verdad,
       C
guardaba todos mis sueños
      Dsus4          D
en castillos de cristal.

Poco a poco fui creciendo

y mis fábulas de amor

se fueron desvaneciendo
      Dsus4       D
como pompas de jabón..

Te encontraré una mañana

Y nunca tengas fe

que sus mentiras puedan traer dolor.

zapatos negros, medias de algodón

que solo era feliz en el colegio
    Em          G       A     
que nunca tuvo en su piel amor

algunos la podrán imaginar
   D             Bm        F#m
la nena que sin pena y sin gloria
    Em              G       A       
perdió sus medias y su castidad
 Bm
Preciso es condenar
    E            G          D       A   
al que se burla de nuestra moral

D                        G  D     C          A7   D
Me echo de su cuarto gritándome: 'No tienes profesión'
                            G    D    C        A7         D
Tuve que enfrentarme a mi condición, en invierno no hay sol
Dsus/B                Dsus/A#      D    C                 C#   D
Y aunque digan que va a ser muy fácil es muy duro poder mejorar
Dsus/B        Dsus/A#      D          C            G       A7 
Hace frío y me falta un abrigo y me pesa el hambre de esperar

D                    G      D  C          A7    D
Quien me dar  algo para fumar o casa en que vivir

Se que entre las calles debes estar pero no se partir
Dsus/B                Dsus/A#      D    C         C#   D
Y la radio nos confunde a todos, sin dinero la pasare mal

Dios es empleado en un mostrador: da para recibir

Conseguí licor y me emborrache, en el baño de un bar

La fianza la pago un amigo, las heridas son del oficial

Solamente muero los domingos y los lunes ya me siento bien

tan exacta como dos y dos son tres.
Em                  Bm

y creyeron que tu alma andaba mal.
Em                    Bm
La mediocridad para algunos es normal,
     Am         B7           Em
la locura es poder ver más allá.


         D  C      G             D -  D  -  C            A
Baila y ba- ila Casandra. Digo bien, bien, bien la pude ver;

no hablo yo   de fantasmas ni de Dios,

sólo te cuento las cosas que   se te suelen perder.

Y Mr. Jones trabajaba
y su esposa asesinaba
y los chicos correteaban por ahí.
Se comían los pajaritos,
los perros y los gatitos,
y otros bichos que vagaban por ahí.

Y llegó la policía,
con dos carros y un tranvía,
para toda la familia encarcelar

        A

¿para Quien Canto Yo Entonces?

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

repeats.
