My Companjera Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Gogol Bordello
In essence not such a difficult song, but listen to the record to get the guitar rhythm
and timing right. I made this partly by watching/listening a live radio performance
easier to figure out but also making it a little different. This version might also 
 Its gypsy punk so he plays whatever he thinks fits in, like changing (low) E and
(higher) E7. I found it quite useful when trying to get this song down. Listen to the
song for
the changes and everything, hope it helps!

E7               x76780

             Am             F
Where are you now my companjera?
            G                   E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
              Am         F
Where are you now my sonidera?
    G              E7
I'm at my final down

           Am              F
We stepped together in the river
          G           E7
We traded fever on turmoil
            Am                  F
Last time I saw you was in the middle
           G              E
So did you ever reach the soil

              Am           F
Where are you now my companjera?
          G                   E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
              Am         F
Where are you now my sonidera?
    G                   E7
Who took you from the nest?

              Am            F
Where are you now my companjera?
            G                   E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
              Am          F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G              E7
I'm at my final down
Down         (violin goes wild)

Am         F G E/E7
My final down

                 Am               F
Like through the muzzle came my surrender
          G               E7
I had to tear it off my mind
      Am                F
Them hypothermia took over
         G             E7
And suddenly I went blind

              Am           F
Where are you now my companjera?
            G                 E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
          Am                F
Where are you now my sonidera?
     G                    E7
Who took you from the nest?

                Am         F
Where are you now my companjera?
            G                   E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
              Am         F
Where are you now my sonidera?

G                   E7
I'm at my final down
Am  F G E
My final down
Am  F G E
My final down

(Guitar solo)

Am                F
Eat and sleep without desire
G              E
Would you like window or aisle?
Am            F
Oh, miss sky, you ever seen
G              E7
Warrior that's more fragile
Am                F
Jetlag, hangover, malnutrition
G                E
You can't fly in this condition
Am            F
And if no one intervenes
G                             E7
Out of the window is my mission

              Am            F
Where are you now my companjera?
           G               E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
               Am        F
Where are you now my sonidera?
     G                 E
Who took you from the nest?

              Am            F
Where are you now my companjera?
            G                   E7
I'm beating bricks from town to town
              Am         F
Where are you now my sonidera?

     G                E
I'm at my final down. Daaaaa

Am  F G E
My final down
My final down
My final down

Finish with something like this: Em Cm Bm Gm
