My Companjera 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
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbdxI1Oh7kM) which is guitar and voice only, making it
easier to figure out but also making it a little different. This version might also
help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jADQ91fKRPQ&NR=1
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!

Where are you[Am] now my companj[F]era?
I'm beating [G]bricks from town to [E]town
Where are you [Am]now my soni[F]dera?

We traded [G]fever on tur[E7]moil
Last time I [Am]saw you was in the m[F]iddle

Where are you [Am]now my compan[F]jera?

Down (violin goes wild)
[Am]My final do[F]wn[G] [E/E7]
Like through the [Am]muzzle came my su[F]rrender
I had to t[G]ear it off my mi[E7]nd
Them h[Am]ypothermia took ov[F]er
And sudde[G]nly I went bli[E7]nd
Where are you [Am]now my compan[F]jera?
Your baby cl[G]aw stuck in my che[E]st
Where are [Am]you now my sonider[F]a?
Who t[G]ook you from the nest[E7]?

[Am]My f[F]in[G]al[E] down
[Am]My f[F]in[G]al[E] down
(Guitar solo)
[Am]Eat and sleep with[F]out desire
[G]Would you like [E]window or aisle?
[Am]Oh, miss sky, [F]you ever seen
[G]Warrior that's [E7]more fragile
[Am]Jetlag, hangover, [F]malnutrition
[G]You can't fly in [E]this condition
[Am]And if no one [F]intervenes
[G]Out of the window is my missio[E7]n
Where are you [Am]now my companj[F]era?
Your baby c[G]law stuck in my [E]chest
Where are you n[Am]ow my soni[F]dera?
Who t[G]ook you from the n[E]est?
Where are you [Am]now my companj[F]era?
I'm beating [G]bricks from town to [E7]town
