Biography:
At least five artists share the name Rodriquez.
1) Sixto Diaz Rodriguez (also known as Rodriguez or as Jesus Rodriguez) is an American folk musician, born in Detroit, Michigan on July 10, 1942. He was named 'Sixto' (pronounced seex-toe) because he was the sixth child in his family. Rodriguez's parents were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, who left in the 1920s. In most of his songs he takes a political stance on the cruelties facing the inner city poor.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
One of my favoerite Sixto rodriguez's songs, very easy indeed, its just the same 4 chords over and over, but
this allows you to focus on the lyrics which are the main part of the song.

G , Bm7 ,C , D (2 times)
G Bm7 C D
Now you sit there thinking feeling insecure
G Bm7 C D
The mocking court gesture (jester) claims there is no proven cure
G Bm7 C D
Go back to your chamber, your eyes upon the wall
G Bm7 C D (this D chords has to be played three times,)
Cause you got no one to listen, you got no one to call
G
And you think I'm curious
(play the same chord progression between each Verse)
Drifting drowning in a purple sea of doubt
You wanna hear she loves you, but the words don't fit the mouth
You're a loser, a rebel, a cause without
But don't think me callous
Dancing Rosemary, Disappearing sister Ruth
It's just you're yellow appetite, that has you choking on the truth
You gave in, you gave out
outlived your dream of youth
So I can't get jealous
So go on you'll continue with your nose so open wide
Knocking on the the door that says hurry come inside
But don't bother to buy insurance
cause you've already died
And you can't be serious
I saw my reflection in my father's final tears
The wind was slowly melting, San Francisco disappears
Acid Heads, Unmade beds
And you Woodward world of queers
I know you're lonely
I Know you're lonely (3 times)
this allows you to focus on the lyrics which are the main part of the song.
