Sixto Rodriguez - what a story! If you haven't yet seen it, check out the 2013 Academy Award winning documentary, "Searching For Sugarman".
I have other Rodriguez songs here on my blog, but up to now haven't added THIS - his signature song.
If you want to see all the chords and song lyrics of Rodriguez I have on my blog - scroll down and click on the Label: "Sixto Rodriguez" - at the bottom of this post
Sugarman
Intro: Am E Dm7 E

All those colours to my dreams

Am E Dm9 E
Sugarman, met a false friend
Dm E Am
On a lonely, dusty road

It had turned to dead black coal

Silver magic ships, you carry

I quite enjoyed listening to the guys of Aussie group Benjalu give Rodriguez's Sugarman their unique cover. Something a little different...
So if you want to support these guys and download their cover of Sugarman along with some other great songs, like Rise And Shine - go here:
