Contraband Chords

(ver. 2)
Roger Clyne
Intro: A-D

Verse:
A                  D
Anything you want, that you don't need
A                             D
La cocaina, las armas, or the weed
A                                      D
Como Villa, como Zapata, como Guevara, como yo
A                                  D
I am Capitan of my own ship, yeah! Soy un pangero!

Pre-Chorus:
             E                                             D
I provide a little seen, little known, ma and pa, homegrown service to society
   Bm                 C#m                    D              E
I got your spice at a very fine price, now...Choose your variety

Verse:
A                            D
No radar, no runnin' lights, no radio
A                                      D
The torches blinking on the shore tell when to come and where to go
A                                     D
And I don't believe in the satellite, computer, GPS
A                             D
My faith is the horizon... My compass, my best guess

Pre-Chorus

Chorus:
              A                                      D
You name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
        E                                  A
I will be there dark of night or light of day
                        D
I guarantee delivery by air, by sea or land
              Bm           C#m  D        E        A
That's how I make a lot of easy money, baby...The hard way...

Verse:
A                                     D
And despite the bribes I pay my trade receives official censure
A                                                  D
"But it's not just a job," as the gringos say, no "It's an adventure!"

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Bridge:
           E               D             A
For every night I have run, I prefer the moon to the sun
           E               D             A
For every fight I have won, I prefer the knife to the gun
          E
And any bridge I never burned, I never crossed
D                                       A
And every fight I never picked, I never lost
           E                                                         E-single strum
We got the wild blue yonder, wild frontier - ain't we got the makings of a fine, fine career!

Intro

Verse: 
A                                D
Shore to shore the sea I run 200 kilometers wide
               A                                                 D
Keep your eyes peeled, head down, hand steady; throttle ready to run, and nowhere to hide
A                                D
The machete, the silence and the darkness are my friends
A                                       D
Yeah I know I gotta a date with fate, I know not where or when...

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Outro:
Bm                  C#m  D      E
We'll make a lot of easy money, come on, 
Bm                  C#m  D      E
We'll make a lot of easy money, baby...
A            D-A
The hard way...The hard way
A                                                   D
You name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband    }  repeat x3 and fade out
A                                         D
We'll make a lot of easy money baby...the hard way                }
