Sixto Díaz Rodríguez, más conocido como Rodríguez (Detroit, Míchigan, 10 de julio de 1942) es un músico y compositor estadounidense. Sus padres, inmigrantes mexicanos de clase media que arribaron a Estados Unidos en los años 20, lo llamaron Sixto por tratarse del sexto hijo en la familia.
En muchas de sus canciones Rodríguez habla de las crueldades que enfrentan los sectores sociales más pobres y marginados de las grandes urbes.
En 1967 (bajo el nombre Rod Riguez) lanzó el sencillo I'll Slip Away a través del pequeño sello Impact.

Great song. I found a better way to play this than the tabs that were already on UG, and thought I'd share it with you guys. I believe, that with this tab you can play very close to the original song, without being a guitar god in any way.
Listen to the song and figure out the strumming pattern, it's real easy. I didn't know what the sus-variations of the Amaj7 and F#m chords are called, so I just named them "Amaj7" and "F#m". See the diagram below.
[Intro] A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E x 2
[Verse] AAsus4A Was it a huntsman or a player Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7 That made you pay the cost F#m "F#m" F#m That now assumes relaxed positions EA And prostitutes your loss? AAsus4A Were you tortured by your own thirst Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7 In those pleasures that you seek F#m "F#m" F#m That made you Tom the curious EA That makes you James the weak?
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
[Chorus] EA-Asus4-A-Asus2 And you claim you got something going EA-Asus4-A-Asus2D Something you call unique DA-Asus4-A-Asus2E But I've seen your self-pity showing EA-Asus4-A As the tears rolled down your cheeks
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
[Verse] Soon you know I'll leave you And I'll never look behind 'Cos I was born for the purpose That crucifies your mind So con, convince your mirror As you've always done before Giving substance to shadows Giving substance ever more
[Chorus] And you assume you got something to offer Secrets shiny and new But how much of you is repetition That you didn't whisper to him too
