Six of the tunes below are in the major key of Bb, an accordion key that I have seen only on the triple-row F-Bb-Eb instrument. I didn't find any in keys of C or G.

Adios amigo, adios my friend
The road we have travelled has come to an end When two love the same love, one love has to lose And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose Adios compadre, what must be must be Remember to name one muchacho for me I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend Adios amigo, adios my friend Adios compadre, let us shed no tears May all your mañanas bring joy through the years Away from these memories, my life I must spend Adios amigo, adios my friend |
