Chords for Alejandro Escovedo - "Castanets" Live at NO Jazz Fest

We got one more song for you.
We want to thank you very much for coming out. _ _ _
_ _ [Am] What a beautiful day [Bb] it's going to be.
Thank you very much for [C] sticking it out with us.
All right, nice rain.
[Ebm] _ _ [Ab] This is a song, this song about a girl that's always wanted to play
play castanets, but she has no sense of rhythm whatsoever.
So she's kind of obnoxious
and, uh, but endearing in some kind of way.
And, uh, the bad part of this song is that it ended up
on President Bush's top 10 iPod list in the New York Times.
_ [N] And I'm not proud of that. _
Believe me, I hid out for many, many months.
_ _ You can't run away from your own catalog.
That's
the rule of thumb in the music business.
_ So we do it now because we're celebrating the fact that
he's leaving Washington, D.C. _ _ _ [G] And the only drag about that is that he's coming back to Texas.
[Bb] _
So I'm going to get my Chicano brothers to build a [Bb] wall around Texas and keep him out of there.
[A] [Gb] That's called Homeland Security in my business.
You know what?
All right, here we go.
This goes out to Joe Strummer [F]
and Jimmy Strum tonight.
