Braekish Boy - Frank Black
transcribed by Adam Farmer
It starts I think with a little noodle on an open G chord.
Just play G F# G Bm Cm Bm throughout.
I'm not sure about the words
This man he was a Mexican Oh yeah
And a true Norwegian Oh yeah
Turned into American Oh yeah
But he felt a Mexican Oh yeah
Down Mexico Way
He had to learn Spanish Oh yeah
He was a walking fish Oh yeah
He was feeling so braekish
Between Norwegian and English
He decided it was time to go
To find the people that he did not know
But the road to Mexico Oh yeah
It sure go fast and it sure go slow Oh yeah
It's a dangerous road
By now you know that he was foxed
By now you know he had no luck
He was smashed head on by a giant truck
Down Mexico Way.
at end play G F# G and strum that G till you run out of breath
singing Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
