Biography:
Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brechtian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the The Birthday Party and Einstürzende Neubauten in his native Ukraine.
After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music.

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!
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!

[Chorus]
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
I'm at my final down
[Verse]
Am F
We stepped together in the river
G E7
We traded fever on turmoil
Am F
Last time I saw you was in the middle
G E
So did you ever reach the soil
[Chorus]
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
Who took you from the nest?
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
I'm at my final down
Down (violin goes wild)
Am F G E/E7
My final down
[Verse]
Am F
Like through the muzzle came my surrender
G E7
I had to tear it off my mind
Am F
Them hypothermia took over
G E7
And suddenly I went blind
[Chorus]
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E7
Who took you from the nest?
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?

I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
[Bridge]
G E7
I'm at my final down

My final down
Am F G E
My final down
(Guitar solo)
Am F
Eat and sleep without desire
G E
Would you like window or aisle?
Am F
Oh, miss sky, you ever seen
G E7
Warrior that's more fragile
Am F
Jetlag, hangover, malnutrition
G E
You can't fly in this condition
Am F
And if no one intervenes
G E7
Out of the window is my mission
[Chorus]
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E
Your baby claw stuck in my chest
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
G E
Who took you from the nest?
Am F
Where are you now my companjera?
G E7
I'm beating bricks from town to town
Am F
Where are you now my sonidera?
