Biography:
At least five artists share the name Rodriquez.
1) Sixto Diaz Rodriguez (also known as Rodriguez or as Jesus Rodriguez) is an American folk musician, born in Detroit, Michigan on July 10, 1942. He was named 'Sixto' (pronounced seex-toe) because he was the sixth child in his family. Rodriguez's parents were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, who left in the 1920s. In most of his songs he takes a political stance on the cruelties facing the inner city poor.

Rodriguez - Cause
[Intro]

E
[Pre-Verse]
E A x2
[Verse 1]
E A E A
Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
E A
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
E A
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
[Verse 2]
E A
While the rain drank champagne
E A
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
E A E A
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
[Chorus]
E A G#m B
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
E A G#m B
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
E A
[Verse 3]
E A E A
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours
E A E A
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
E A E A
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
E
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
A E A
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
[Chorus]
E A G#m B
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
E A G#m B
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
E A
[Verse 4]
E A
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
E A
And I explained that I had overpaid them
E A
So overdued I went to the company store
E A
and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
E A E A
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
E A E A
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
[Interlude]
E A x2
[Verse 5]
E A
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
E A
In weekends of whiskey sours
E A E A
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
