Manuel the Bandito chords

[B] This next song, when I first wrote it, [E] I sat back and listened to it and I thought,
nah, it needs an American accent to make it work properly.
So what I did, I sent off a cassette of it to Nashville.
About a month later they sent my cassette back with an American voice on the end of the tape saying,
no thank you very much, we don't record that sort of thing over here.
I thought, fuck you, we do over here.
So I recorded the song myself and I'm real glad that I did now.
You ask me if I know Manuel the Bandito, I know Manuel, well [B] then you know.
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest bandito in all [E] Mexico.
Many men die from the hands of Manuel, his eyes they can cut [A] like the knife.
You ask me if I [E] know Manuel the Bandito, Manuel [B] is a good friend [E] of mine.
Why only just yesterday riding my burro through the hills just off to [B] the east,
Manuel appeared like it seemed out of nowhere pointing two big [E] pistolas at me.
He said, get off the donkey and empty your pockets, better you do [A] like I said,
or I pull on the [E] trigger of my two big [B] pistola and blow fucking great [E] hole in your head.
So I empty my pockets he said, not enough, I [B] think Manuel just have some fun.
You get around the back and you lift up the tail and you kiss on the [E] donkey's bum.
So I do and I kiss on the donkey's shit in a filthy big heap [A] on the ground.
He wave the pistola, [E] he laugh and say eat, [B] so I start eating donkey [E]
shit down.
You ask me if I know Manuel the Bandito, I know Manuel well and you [B] know,
Manuel is the meanest and toughest and cruelest bandito in all [E] Mexico.
Many men die from the hands of Manuel, his eyes they can cut [A] like the knife.
You ask me if I know [E] Manuel the Bandito, Manuel [B] is a good friend of mine.
[F]
But it's not me just frightened, my donkey is also, this I can tell for [C] a fact.
I think I remember one time once before when I lift up his [G] tail just like [F] that.
Then he started kick me and he kick Manuel and Manuel drop the [Bb] pistolas down.
So I pick them up and I point them at him, [C] I say, hey Manuel it's your turn now, hey [G] hey.
You get around the back and you lift up his tail and come on Manuel you kiss his [D] ass.
[A] And you eat the shit, see I leave some for you.
Hey Manuel you think [G] you're so smart?
So you ask me if I know Manuel very well, well amigo what more can [C] I say?
Would you [G] believe that me and Manuel we had lunch together just yesterday?
[G] [C] Would you believe [G] that Manuel is my friend?
I had [D] lunch with him just yesterday.
[N]
