[B]
Went down to Mexico [F#] on the 4th of [B]
July I got a tattoo of a moth and a butterfly
I had a [E] little time to burn, a little money [B] to spend
And so I bought a switchblade for each of my friends
Pablo and Dan had a plan, said we're gonna get rich
Put the double cross on a double [F#] crossing [B] narco snitch
Just a dirty [E] little two man job but it's a [B] surefire way in
Brother when we cut him down we gonna cut you in
Yeah I [E] done been drunk as I was, you know I'd do it [B] all again
Back when I bought a switchblade [F#] for each of [B] my friends
[E] They were sharp enough to stab [B] another hole [F#] in the sky
[E] Hard enough to make the [B] proudest diamond [F#] sigh
[E] Faster than the rockets [B] on the 4th [F#] of July
[G#m] Strong and cruel enough to [E] make a [F#] statue of [B] Mary cry
They said Amiro don't you [F#] worry now we're gonna [B]
disappear
Couple of months they said now [F#] it's been [B] almost a year
I know that [E] if you want that kind of money man you gotta [B] stay brave
Better out as a bullet, bodies [F#] out of [B] shallow crates
Yeah I [E] done been drunk as I was, you know I'd do it [B] all again
Back when I bought a switchblade [F#] for each of [B] my friends
[E] They were sharp enough to stab [B] another hole [F#] in the sky
[E] Hard enough to make the [B] proudest diamond [F#] sigh
[E] Faster than the rockets [B] on the 4th [F#] of July
[G#m] Strong and cruel enough to [E] make a [F#] statue of [B] Mary cry
[E] [B] [F#]
[E] [B] [F#]
[E] [B] [F#]
[G#m]
[E] [F#] Later [B]
in the fall I got the call [F#] boy won't you [B] come down
Maybe put a name with a few [F#] unlucky faces [B] we've found
Now no [E] matter what I do can't get my heart [B] to mend
Stumbled and [F#] bared a switchblade in each of [E] my friends
Yeah I done been drunk as we was, you know I'd do it [B] all again
People out there that [F#] switchblade with each of [B] my friends
[E] They were sharp enough to stab [B] another hole [F#] in the sky
[E] Hard enough to make the [B] proudest [F#] diamond sigh
[E] Faster than the rockets [B] on the 4th [F#] of July
[G#m] Strong and cruel enough to [E] make a [F#] statue of [B] Mary cry
Yeah [E] they were sharp enough to stab [B] another hole [F#] in the sky
[E] Hard enough to make the [B] proudest [F#] diamond [E] sigh
Faster than the rockets [B] on the 4th [F#] of July
Strong [G#m] and cruel enough [E] to make a [F#] statue of [B] Mary cry
