Ava (Sequel to Sinaloa Cowboys) by Duncan Campbell
Same melody and strum pattern as Sinaloa Cowboys
Capo 3 - Key of Bb
[Verse 1]
G C
Miguel returned to his hometown in northern Mexico
G D
His family they all gathered to welcome him back home
G C
they couldn’t help but notice he was mostly skin and bones
G D G
he burst to tears when they asked why he was alone
[Verse 2]
G C
He told them Luis’s story, the tin shack by the ravine
G D
And the two men from Sinaloa…extortion was their routine
G C
They all wept with Miguel and hugged him til deep into the night
G D G
except their sister Ava who had lightning in her eyes
[Verse 3]
G C
On the way to mass the next month, she finally said a word
G D
She asked Miguel if he stll knew where the Sinaloans were
G C
while Miguel received his absolution from Father Ferdinand
G D G
Ava knelt and started making plans
[Bridge 1]
C G
She could spend her years in Ensenada pretend it all was a dream
C G D
But the men from Sinaloa would haunt her in her sleep
C G C
the specter of her brothers’ captors burned right to her core
G D G
So she left at dusk with her rucksack heading north.
[Verse 4]
G C
She reached the Sinaloan compound while it was still dark outside
G D
She hid the lookouts’ bodies under the cover of the night
G C
Ava planted the explosives on the vats and then she crept
G D G
down the hall to where the Sinaloans slept
[Verse 5]
G C
The first man from Sinaloa was taken by surprise
G D
she forced him to face her as the light left his eyes.
G C
The second man thought that he had her, but in a flash he began to wilt
G D G
from her stiletto dagger she buried to the hilt.
[Verse 6]
G C
Ava snuck out the terrace down a path and out of sight
G D
when the lab exploded lighting up the valley night
G C
She slid down a muddy swale just past a eucalyptus grove
G D G
to a skiff that was hidden in a dark, secluded cove.
[Bridge 2]
C G
She felt no guilty conscience as the Sinaloans burned
C G D
For everything that they took, she exacted a price in return
C G C
Word spread throughout the region fast as a summer squall
G D G
To this day they say St. Muerta came to call.
[Verse 7]
G C
She rendezvoused with Miguel as dawn broke in the east.
G D
They ripped her rucksack open when they hit the open sea
G C
With a hundred and ten thousand dollars, they set sail for the southern sky
G D G
she kissed her brother’s cheek, and Ava Rosales cried.
