El Octavo Día

[Intro]
Bm F#mG  GA
 |  |  |    x2
Bm         F#m                 G              A
El octavo día Dios despues de tanto trabajar
Bm        F#m                 G             A
para liberar tensiones luego ya de revisar
Bm            F#m                     G          A
dijo "todo está muy bien, es hora de descansar"
Bm                          F#m             G    A
y se fue a dar un paseo por el espacio sideral.
Bm                F#m                   G              A
¿Quién se iba a imaginar que el mismo Dios al regresar
Bm           F#m                G               A
iba a encontrarlo todo en un desorden infernal
Bm              F#m                   G         A
y que se iba a convertir en un desempleado más
Bm                           A                   G    A
de la tasa que anualmente est? creciendo sin parar?
D                        D/C#         Bm
Desde ese entonces hay quienes lo han visto
Bm/A         G    D       E  A
solo en las calles transitar
D                D/C#       Bm
anda esperando paciente por alguien
              Bm/A       G     D    E7    Eb
con quien al menos tranquilo pueda conversar.
[Coro | Chorus]
D         A          G           Bb          C         D
Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira sin poderlo detener
        A           G            Bb         C
y aquí abajo unos cuantos nos manejan como fichas de ajedrez
Em          G                     D          A
no soy la clase de idiota que se deja convencer
      Em                        A              Bm
pero digo la verdad y hasta un ciego lo puede ver.
[Instrumental]
Bm F#mG  GA
 |  |  |  
Bm              F#m               G             A
Si a falta de ocupación o de excesiva soledad
Bm             F#m               G                 A
Dios no resistiera más y se marchara a otro lugar
Bm             F#m                         G          A
sería nuestra perdición, no habr?a otro remedio más
Bm                           F#m                      G   A
que adorar a Michael Jackson, a Bill Clinton o a Tarzán.
D                  D/C#      Bm
Es más difícil ser rey sin corona
Bm/A        G  D        E  A
que una persona más normal
D                    D/C#      Bm
pobre de Dios que no sale en revistas,
            Bm/A       G       D   E7      Eb
que no es modelo ni artista o de familia real.
[Coro | Chorus] (Tocar dos veces | Play twice)
D         A          G           Bb          C         D
Mientras tanto este mundo gira y gira sin poderlo detener
        A           G            Bb         C
y aquí abajo unos cuantos nos manejan como fichas de ajedrez
Em          G                     D          A
no soy la clase de idiota que se deja convencer
      Em                        A              Bm
pero digo la verdad y hasta un ciego lo puede ver.
