Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Found my way down the riverside, swimming deep in the water
That’s the place where I like to hide, when I lose my mind
Try to find my way to the shore, but the waves make it harder

So I let myself drift away, drift away

I took a float down to Mexico, oh
Cried myself a river, that was so long ago
Now that I know where I have to go, oh
Let the wind carry me away
I fire words like bullets
I fire words like bullets

Then I found myself lost at sea, sent a message in a bottle
But the tide brought it back to me, now I’m on my own
I put up my gun, fire my words
Shooting you down, I know it hurts
Now you know I used to feel (how I used to feel)

I took a float down to Mexico, oh
Cried myself a river, that was so long ago
Now that I know where I have to go, oh
Let the wind carry me away
I fire words like bullets (now you know how I used to feel)
I fire words like bullets (now you know how I used to feel)

I put up my gun, fire my words
Shooting you down, I know it hurts
Before it gets good, its getting worse
All of my scars left are with a curse

I took a float down to Mexico, oh
Cried myself a river, that was so long ago
Now that I know where I have to go, oh
Let the wind carry me away
I fire words like bullets (now you know how I used to feel)
I fire words like bullets (now you know how I used to feel)
I fire words like bullets (now you know how I used to feel)
I fire words like bullets

Mexico (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Here comes another song about Mexico
I just can’t help myself
I lost my old lady
Got my lures
Got my bobbers
Now I’m gonna go

Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can’t help ourselves
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we’re gonna go

Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

One more promise soaked in rye whiskey
One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor
I’m the man who travels ‘round doing…
Hey, we don’t talk about that
I’ll get the favor done for you
No one will ever know

Then i’ll run to mexico

Cold as stone my eyes fall on another
Just another name that’s runnin’ through my mind
At your request i’ll do whatever you require
You give me the light, i supply the fire

Then i’ll burn for mexico

Pretty senorita, she lies to me
Smiles sweetly in the morning when i wake up cold sweating
‘cause some day i’ll be in the sights

One more call when someone finds a target
Only guarded whispers never mentions names
Money on the line will be just fine…
You’ll never be involved
And even if a clue shows you’ll never know

‘cause i’ll be in mexico

By: james taylor
1975
Way down here
Ou need a reason to move
Feel a fool
Running your stateside games
Lose your load
Leave your mind behind
Baby, james

Oooh, mexico
It sounds so simple
I just got to go
The sun’s so hot
I forgot to go home
I guess i’ll have to go now

Americanos’ got the sleepy eyes
But his body’s still shakin’ like a live wire
Senorita with her eyes on fire
Don’t you know

Oooh, mexico
It sounds so sweet
With the sun sinkin’ low
The moon’s so bright
Likes to light up the night
Make everything alright.

Baby’s hungry and the money’s all gone
The folks back home
Don’t want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter
And sends back a postcard
Times are hard.

Ooohh, down in mexico
I’ve never really been
So i don’t really know
Oooooh, mexico
I guess i’ll have to go now.

Oooh, mexico
I’ve never really been
But, i’d sure like to go
Whoa, oooh mexico
I guess i’ll have to go now.

Talkin’ ‘bout mexico (mexico)
Little honkeytonk out in mexico (mexico)
South of margaritaville
I’ve been told

Spoken:
(?)undele, undele, vaminos
Ahh, yeah, let’s load this cast of characters
On that boat and head south
Ahh, yeah we got a wind at our back
Smooth sailin’ all the way
We got old nordstrom, he’s our chef
He’s down in that galley cookin’ up a
Barometer soup for us
We gotta stop at our offshore bank of bad habits
And make a deposit or a withdrawl
I don’t know which one, y’know
We’re goin’ down to the land of the mayans
Eah, they were here long before the cavemen were
Cavemen in blue jeans
Uhh, excuse me, that’s not politically correct
That’s cavepersons in blue jeans
Skip wiley and skink, we may run into them
Up to no good down there
Watch out for those barefoot children
Stompin’ around in those puddles
Ahh, yeah, and that remittance man
He’s just goin’ round and round
He may run into ‘ol frank bama
Cruisin’ around in the hemisphere dancer
I don’t know, i might have my long board down there…

When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever i am
I’ll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And i’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon i will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever i am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And i’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They’ll hurt you and desert you.
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever i am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don’t you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you’ve got to do is call.
Lord, i’ll be there, yes i will.
You’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.

I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, i was bound for mexico
Oh baby, i was bound to let you go

I don’t know much about cinco de mayo
I’m never sure what it’s all about
I say i want you, and you don’t believe me
You say you want me, but i’ve got my doubts

Oh baby, i was bound for mexico
Oh baby, i was bound to let you go

I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, i was bound for mexico
Oh baby, i was bound to let you go

Come gather round me people, here’s a story you never heard
‘bout me and my friends and some things that occured
We thought we’d get some money, we thought that we might go
Spend a weekend pleasant down in mexico

I was workin at mcdonalds, doin’ the latenight run
When a car pulled up the drive thru and pointed out a gun
Said give us all your money and three big macs to go
I stuffed them all in a bag and i ducked down below

Well the boss got angry when he found out i didn’t call the police
I guess i was kinda nervous, there was a warrant out on me
Concernin’ some jaywalkin tickets i couldn’t afford to pay
Needless to say i got the axe that same day

Well me bein’ outta work just then i didn’t wanna go home
My mom said if i lost this job i’d have to go out on my own
So i went over to dave’s house and got really stoned
Called up some girls but none o’ them were home

Steve came over and he brought some alcohol
We’re all gettin really depressed just starin’ at the wall
Thought we’d get some money, we thought that we might go
Spend a weekend pleasant down in mexico

Steve’s dad had a huntin’ rifle and we went and picked it up
And we stopped into the 7-11 to try our luck
We raised up that huntin’ rifle but the counter guy just laughed
As he pulled out an uzi we turned and hauled ass

We were runnin so fast ‘til we came to the mcdonalds where i used to work
We walked up to the drive thru and gave my boss a jerk
Said give us all your money and three big macs to go
And suck on this you weasel we’re goin to mexico

Down south we all got really wasted, dave got a case of the runs
We’re all really hungover and gettin low on funds
Dave and steve called their parents and took the bus back home
Me, i got a job at mcdonalds down in mexico

Hey!
Well, morning out of bed, the carpet’s red, well I know
The flood has started
The day goes so slow in below my head
I should have stayed in bed
My love, well I have lost
I paid the cost
I know I gotta get ahead
We’ll board a rendesvoux, the Spanish few
Well I drew a picture perfect path

So I die, We’d run
Though I haven’t seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I’d lie in my bed, in my bed

I’ve been battered, you’ve been shuttered, we’re both in tutters
I know it doesn’t matter
Well, my days and nights are cluttered
Well I’ve discovered I’m unkind
I think I better find
My love ?? and we could swear that we’d run
To a better place
So come round I’ll blow this town
Drinks are bound tip you down ??
Your hand in my hand

So I’d die, we’d run
Though I haven’t seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I’d lie in my bed, once again
So I’d die, we’d run
Though I haven’t seen it yet viva Mexico
And I’d lie in my bed, in my bed

Well, morning out of bed, the carpet’s red
Well, I know a flood has started
?? and we could swear that we’d run
And find a better place

So I’d die, we’d run
Though I haven’t seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I’d lie in my bed, once again

So I’d die, we’d run
Though I haven’t seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I’d lie in my bed, in my bed, once again
In my bed, once again

You could see me reaching
So why couldn’t you have
Met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put
Pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You’d better bend before i go
On the first train to mexico

You could see me breathing
But you still kept
Your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned
Your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You’d better bend before i go
On the first train to mexico

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You’d better bend before i go
On the first train to mexico
