Mr. Rodriguez Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Yesterday morning, [D]I was walking around
Me and Mr. Rodriguez on the wrong
side of town
The streets were all empty and the
houses all burned down
He reached in his pocket and
he pulled out a crown
And he said
You're so much like me, [G]boy
[D]Step outta your dream
Watch 'em all gather 'round, boy
[G]It is you[D]r turn to be king

[Verse 2]
[D]Cause you are the only one

[Verse 3]
You are the only one
[G]I come from a small tow[D]n
near West Beverly
[G]Right under the free[D]way,
all my broth[C]ers [D]and me
[G]My father was[D] Henry,
[G]Mary Jane, [D]Eloise
They work in a coal mine from age [G]17
But I don't see 'em that [D]much no more
[G]They died one[D] day
[G]A king from a j[D]ester and a
[G]queen from [D]a slave

[Verse 4]
You are the only [D]one
You are the only one
Well you are the only one
That's for me
[C][A][D]

[Verse 5]
There's a [Bm]rose in my garden
that never [C]grows
And it [Bm]keeps me up at night
[C]forevermore
And what I [G]hold in my hand
[D]I was t[Bm]old to never h[C]old

[Interlude 1]
So I let it go
[A][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]The slave and[D] the jester
[G]They met [D]in the park
A slow [G]song in the distance
[D]and[C] a dance thr[A]ough the[D] dark
[G]One hand to the [D]outside,
she waves in the wind
[G]They [D]circled for hours or what
[C]seemed to be [D]them
[G]She love him in [D]the moonlight
[G]Soon the morning [D]comes
[G]Then back to the coal min[D]e

[Verse 7]
when the day is done
[G]You are[D] the only one
You are the only one
You are the only one

[Outro 1]
For me
[C][A][D]
