Hot Burrito 1 Tab

by Gram Parsons


This is without doubt one of the best country rock songs ever written and
always gets unexpected praise when I play this song live. I prefer using the
capo on the 3rd fret as this makes the chord progression closer to the vocals (mine at least).

(capo 3rd)

Intro  D / / F#m / / Am / / B7 / / D
                                                          
You may be, sweet and nice, but that won't keep you warm at night
                     (+Maj7)                                
Cuz I'm the one, who showed you how, to do the things you're doing now
                                           
He may feel, all your charms, he may hold you in his arms
                                                       
But I'm the one, who let you in, I was right beside you then  

                                          
Once upon a time, you let me feel you deep inside
                                                    
and nobody knew, nobody saw, do you remember the way you cried

             
I'm your toy, I'm your ol' boy
                                             
And I don't want no one but you to love me
                                                            
No, I wouldn't lie, you know I'm not that kind of guy

Solo!

                                          
Once upon a time, you let me feel you deep inside
                                                    
and nobody knew, nobody saw, do you remember the way you cried
             
I'm your toy, I'm your ol' boy
                                                   
And I don't want no one but you to love me
                                                           
No, I wouldn't lie, you know I'm not that kind of guy
