Muerto Escondido Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]know a place that's
hot most of the time.
A spliff cost a quarter,
a beer cost a dime.
I've roamed the globe,
Nairobi to Kyoto,
but my favorite ghetto is in the
depths of Mexico.
Paradise is where you make it,
but this ain't for the weak.
Where men walk on water
and zombies walk the streets.
The water's blue, sand black, skin brown
Yep, a little ghost town
that never shuts down
Beauty all around for miles
But there's darkness in their smiles
There's darkness in their smiles
Muerto, escondido
Su alma está en peligro
La verdad será revelada
Mueros got swells that'll kick your ass
Spring your ankles,
or leave them in cast
There's tropical rain to
wash away the pain
But ain't nothin' to keep
you from goin' insane
Jackin' straight up with a
chip on her shoulder
One woman army, million -gallon soldier
Went to Escondido, and after the week
Where men walk on water
and zombies walk the streets
Ants size of roaches and roaches
the size of mice
Scorpions in your shoes
and beds for the lice
Inside, frogs and mosquitoes
in the shower
Outside, the guns and
knives and murder
When a house gets robbed,
I mean the house itself
They kick your zombie butt out
and move it someplace else
It's no man's [E]land,
it's [Am]no thug's land
It's no one's land, el loco land
Muerto, escondido
Su alma está en peligro
La verdad será revelada
El muerto, escondido
Muerto
Suicide and homicide
We're dead dogs by the roadside
The river runs with blood,
the six of the month
Coinciding with the local
eclipse of the sun
Took shrooms at dawn,
and thought I saw a god
Committed to drinking more tequila,
stopped drinking so much rum
Went to a party at the house
up on the hill
With visitors on the walls
and ghosts in the halls
Sat down to a plate of fish head stew
Sucking on an eyeball,
I've been trying to chew
Saw ants moving bread
across the floor
Through the dining room, the kitchen,
and out the door
They didn't even wait
till we got to dessert
But neither did the skeezer
with me trying to flirt
She said, I'm from Italy
but I've lived here ten years
And I have two husbands
and I have six kids
Her mouth melted as she tried to speak
Said, cattle with a gun,
let me give you a treat
[A]She [Am]thought I'm zippy,
[Am]well I was not with it
Had a shank of the size of a quarter
on the outside of her lippage
Left the room, left the house,
put the ghost in the hall
Followed me out, he said, you can't run
But you cannot hide from that
little dark lie
You call your life,
won't you come back
in and stay a while
Drink some blood with tequila,
Escondido style
Went to Escondido, not for the weak
Where men walk on water
and zombies walk the streets
Puerto Escondido
Su alma está en peligro
La verdad será revelada
en muerto escondido, muerto
Muerto escondido, not for the weak
Where men walk on water
and zombies walk the streets
[Am]whoa[G]
Su [Am]honda esta en peligro
La verdad sera revelada
en muertos escondidos
[G]Muertos[Am]
[Dm]Ahh..
[Am]Ehh..
Ehh..
[Am]Ehh..[Am]
Ehh..
So [Am]I went back to baby
One love
