Song for Cinco de Mayo: "Buenos Tardes Amigo" by Ween

What a Cinco de Mayo song by Ween!

The world's favorite faux-brother duo put their 8th-grade-level Spanish to good use with the brilliant "Buenos Tardes Amigo" from their incomparably brown Chocolate and Cheese album. This is an easy song to cover, but the three chord ditty (Am-G, a little Dm) builds from a simple Spanish guitar riff into a bedlam of revenge and perfidy, with an ending to challenge the Beatles' "Day in the Life."

Great listening for Cinco de Mayo.

Lyrics to "Buenos Tardes Amigo" by Ween

Buenas Tardes Amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again

You killed my brother last winter
You shot him three times in the back
In the night I still hear mama weeping
Oh mama, still dresses in black

I looked at every fiesta
For you I wanted to greet
Maybe I'd sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat

You...you look like my brother
Mama loved him the best
He was head honcho with the ladies
Mama always said he was blessed

The village all gathered around him
They couldn't believe what they saw
I said it was you that had killed him
And that I'd find you and upstand the law

The people of the village believed me
Mama...she wanted revenge
I told her that I'd see that she was honored
I'd find you and put you to death

So now...now that I've found you
On this such a joyous day
I tell you it was me who killed him
But the truth I'll never have to say

Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again
Yes, I hoped we'd see each other again

(Avoid playing this in Arizona, stupid racist flyover state.)
