These are the chords for the album version. It's Hugh's version of the Louis Armstrong song, which is at the same time, a version from an Argentinian Tango called 'El Choclo' by Ángel Villoldo. As you might know, the first verses are sung in a mix of Spanish and Argentinian slang. Standard Tuning. No capo needed. Con este tango que es burlón y compadrito Se ató dos alas la ambición de mi suburbio; Con este tango nació el tango, y como un grito Salió del sórdido barrial buscando el cielo; Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho cadencia Que abrió caminos sin más ley que la esperanza, Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetón. Por tu milagro de notas agoreras Nacieron, sin pensarlo, las paicas y las grelas, Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer... I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying And though I see the danger still the flame grows higher I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire Just like a torch you set the soul within me burning I must go out along this road of no returning And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire SOLO (verse 1, verse 2, bridge) Bridge: I can't resist you what good is there is trying (Por tu milagro de notas agoreras) What good is there denying you're all that I desire (Por tu milagro de notas agoreras) Since I first kissed you my heart was yours completely (Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas) If I'm a slave then it's a slave I want to be... (Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...) Don't pity me... don't pity me... Give me your lips the lips you only let me borrow Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me It consumes me, your kiss of fire.
