These are the chords for the album version.
It's Hugh's version of the Louis Armstrong song, which is at the same time, a version
from an Argentinian Tango called 'El Choclo' by Ángel Villoldo.
As you might know, the first verses are sung in a mix of Spanish and Argentinian slang.
Standard Tuning. No capo needed.
Dm
Con este tango que es burlón y compadrito
A7
Se ató dos alas la ambición de mi suburbio;
Con este tango nació el tango, y como un grito
Dm A7
Salió del sórdido barrial buscando el cielo;
Dm
Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho cadencia
D7 Gm
Que abrió caminos sin más ley que la esperanza,
Dm
Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
A7 Dm
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetón.
C7 F
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
C7 F
Nacieron, sin pensarlo, las paicas y las grelas,
A7 Dm
Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas
A7
Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...
Dm
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
A7
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
A7
And though I see the danger still the flame grows higher
A7 Dm
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
Dm
Just like a torch you set the soul within me burning
Dmaj7 Gm
I must go out along this road of no returning
Gm Dm
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
A7 Dm
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
SOLO
(verse 1, verse 2, bridge)
Bridge:
C7 F
I can't resist you what good is there is trying
(Por tu milagro de notas agoreras)
C7 F
What good is there denying you're all that I desire
(Por tu milagro de notas agoreras)
A7 Dm
Since I first kissed you my heart was yours completely
(Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas)
Bb A
If I'm a slave then it's a slave I want to be...
(Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...)
Bb A Bb A
Don't pity me... don't pity me...
Dm
Give me your lips the lips you only let me borrow
Dmaj7 Gm
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
Gm Dm
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
A7 Dm
It consumes me, your kiss of fire.
