El nombre Calexico, tomado de la población fronteriza norteamericana Calexico, California, define perfectamente a esta banda, ya que es la mezcla entre California y México.
Son un grupo norteamericano originario de Tucson, Arizona, amantes de los sonidos del mundo. Sus dos líderes, Joey Burns (voz y guitarra) y John Convertino (batería) comenzaron a tocar juntos en la banda angelina Giant Sand antes de fundar Calexico.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

This sounds fine tuned normal but you can play it open D if you want it to sound exactly like the song.
DmBbDm
Dm Down the crooked road a ways BbDm A child's shadow hiding in the Briar
FDmFDm Tending to a twisted heart BbGm that's bent and broken BbGm wounded and abandoned A7Dm left amongst the rotted root to rot
DmBbDm
Dm Moon, crimson moon BbDm Rose Marie's walking down the crooked road a ways
FDmFDm All aglow, her fair white skin BbGmBbGm Portrait of beauty, angel to many FDmFDm Hears the hush crying from the briar BbGmBbGm Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter CGm and is dragged through the darkness CGm beneath the lonely cypress BbGm The town's beloved daughter BbGm carried to her death in the turbid waters A7Dm and set afloat downstream
DmBbDm
FDmFDm Whole town erupts, bursts into flame BbGmBbGm Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways FDmFDm Find old Rufus there drunk and asleep BbGmBbGm Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter FDmFDm Can't hold back these waves of anger BbGm Tie a rope around his neck BbGm See if he still hollers A7Dm Another innocent soul hangs over the briar
