Crucify Your Mind - Rodriguez - chords and lyrics




I finally got round to adding another Rodriguez song on here from my songbook.
There are still more to come - so stay tuned...
You'll probably find better quality vids out there of Crucify Your Mind - but this one is good because you get to see him playing.
If you want to see all Rodriguez songs I have (and more in the future, as time permits) click on Sixto Rodriguez label at the bottom of the post - just above the comments.

"...Climb up on my music and my songs will set you free..." - Rodriguez

Crucify Your Mind  by  Rodriguez

Intro: A, E, F#m, E, A  (twice)
if you watch the video, you'll see how to play it like Rodriguez

A                            (Amaj7)
Was it a huntsman or a player
        E
That made you pay the cost
            F#m
That now assumes relaxed positions
      E                       A
And prostitutes your loss?
 A                                (Amaj7)
Were you tortured by your own thirst?
      E
In those pleasures that you seek
       D
That made you Tom the curious
       E                             A
That makes you James the weak?

A, E, F#m, E, A

            E                                A
But you claim you got something going
 E                        A
Something you call unique
 D                                   A
But I've seen your self-pity showing
 E                                         A
As the tears rolled down your cheeks.

A, E, F#m, E, A

A                      (Amaj7)
Soon you know I'll leave ya
E 
And I'll never look behind
              F#m 
'Cos I was born for the purpose
        E                 A 
That crucifies your mind.
 A        (Amaj7)
So con, convince your mirror.
               A 
As you've always done before
            F#m  
Giving substance to shadows
           E                   A 
Giving substance ever more.

A, E, F#m, E, A

             E                                       A 
And you assume you got something to offer
E                        A 
Secrets shiny and new
D                                    A 
But how much of you is repetition
E                                           A 
That you did not whisper to him too     A, E, F#m, E, A


There you have it - enjoy...
Of course it's always good to view other players and see how their cover versions compare.
This one below - by Martinwaymusic is worth a look at.
His version uses a Capo on the second and is in the chord of G
