[Verse]
Bm                                 F#9
Romeo is bleeding, but not so as you'd notice,
        Bm                                   F#9
He's over on 18th street as usual
Bm                                           F#9
Lookin' so hard a - gainst the hood of his car
        Bm                                         F#9
And puttin' out a cigarette in his hand

[Verse]
                 Bm                                        F#9
For all the pachucos at the pumps At Romero's Paint and Body
                                   Bm                                         F#9
They're all seein' how far they can spit, well, it was just another night
                           Bm                                              F#9
And now they're huddled in the brake lights of a fifty-eight Bel-Air
         Bm                                             F#9
And listenin' to how Romeo killed a sheriff with his knife

                    Bm                                                       F#9
And they all jump when they hear the sirens, But Romeo just laughs
             Bm                                                       F#9
"All the racket in the world ain't never gonna save that Coppers' ass
             Bm                                                                F#9
He ain't never gonna see another summertime for gunnin' down my brother
Bm                                                F#9
Leavin' him like a dog, beneath a car without his knife"

[Verse]
                      Bm                                                         F#9
Romeo says," Hey man, gimme a cigarette", and they all reach for their pack
Bm                                            F#9
Frank - ie lights it for him and pats him on the back
                     Bm                                             F#9
An' throws a bottle at a milk truck, and as it breaks, he grabs his nuts
                   Bm                                                                F#9
An' they all know, they could be just like Romeo if they only had the guts

[Verse]

Bm                                 F#9
Romeo is bleeding, but no - body can tell
            Bm                                              F#9
An' he sings along with the radi With a bul - et in his chest
            Bm                                         F#9
An' he combs back his fenders they all agree it's clear
         Bm                                          F#9
That ev - rything is cool, now that Ro - meo is here

[Verse]

Bm                                     F#9
Romeo is bleeding and he winces now an' then
             Bm                                                     F#9
And he leans against the car door, feels the blood in his shoes
                  Bm                                               F#9
Someone's cryin' at the 5 Points, the phone booth by the store
Bm                                           F#9
Romeo starts his engines, the blood off the door

[Verse]

             Bm                                                     F#9
And he brodies through the signal With the radio full blast
                  Bm                                                F#9
Leavin' the boys there__ hikin' up their chi - nos
                           Bm                                                        F#9
And now they're all tryin' to stand like Romeo, with the Moon cut like a sickle
Bm                                                             F#9
And they're talkin' now in Spanish, all a - bout their hero

[Verse]

Bm                                   F#9
Romeo is bleeding as he gives the man his ticket
             Bm                                    F#9
And he climbs the balcony at the mo - vies
                Bm                                      F#9
And he'll die without a whimper like e - very hero's dream
              Bm                                     F#9
Like an an - gel with a bullet and Cag - ney on a screen

[Bridge]

Bm                         F#9   Bm                     F#9
Romeo is bleed - ing Romeo is bleed - ing Hey, man
Bm                        F#9   Bm                       F#9
Romeo is bleeding Hey man, Romeo is bleeding...

[Outro]
Bm                         F#9   Bm                      F#9
Romeo is bleed - ing Romeo is bleed - ing Hey, man
Bm                         F#9   Bm                      F#9
Romeo is bleeding Hey man, Romeo is bleeding...
Bm                         F#9   Bm                      F#9
Hey, pachuco! Hey, pachuco!
Bm                          F#9  Bm                       F#9
Dáme esa pistola, hombre! Hago la lucha!
Bm                          F#9  Bm                        F#9
Ay, que pinche pancho! Vamos a dormir, hombre!
