Negro da Gaita

C  G7  C  
                                                        G7                                                            C  
Mata o silêncio dos mates, a cordeona voz trocada
                                                        G7                                                    C  
E a mão campeira do negro, passeando aveludada
                                                        G7                                                                         C  
Nos botões chora segredos, que ele juntou pela estrada
                                                                        G7  
(Quando o negro abre essa gaita
     F            C            G7            C  
Abre o livro da sua vida
                                                        G7  
Marcado de poeira e pampa
                                             C  
Em cada nota sentida)
(intro)
                                                                  G7                                                              C  
Quando o pai que foi gaiteiro, desta vida se ausentou
                                             G7                                                         C  
O negro piá solitário, tal como pedra rolou
                                                     G7                                                                              C    G7  C  
E se fez homem proseando, com a gaita que o pai deixou
                                                  G7                                              C  
E a gaita se fez baú para causos e canções
                                                          G7                                                 C  
Do negro que passa a vida, mastigando solidões
                                                  G7                                                              C  
E vai semeando recuerdos, por estradas e galpões
