AM EM AM
Preso me encuentro tras de la reja,
tras de la reja de mi prisión, MI M
cantar quisiera, llorar no puedo
las tristes quejas del co-ra-zón. LA M
55 54 52 50
AM EM AM
Si no es la barca ni la falúa
lo que me espera en el ancho mar, MI M
es el terrible San Juan de Ulúa
donde mis culpas voy a pa-gar. LA M

AM EM AM
Una mañana salí a jurado,
Ay cielo santo, lo que pasó, MI M
el veredicto deliberado,
como a un culpable me con-de-nó LA M
55 54 52 50
AM EM AM
Pena de muerte pedía el agente,
ay, cielo santo, lo que sentí, MI M
y lo confieso sinceramente,
que como un niño me es-tre-me-cí. LA M

AM EM AM
Hace tres días que a bartolina
un pajarito vino a cantar, MI M
era mi madre que en forma de ángel
a su hijo amado vino a llo-rar. LA M
55 54 52 50
AM EM AM
Cuando haya muerto, Y entre los mares,
Vayan mis restos a descansar MI M
Una plegaria pal sentenciado
Que fué culpable de tanto a-mar. LA M

Una preciosa canción que espero les guste esta version.
