Dm A7
El chaquetón raído y unas maracas,

La libertad al hombro y corro extraño
Gm Dm
Allá por la salida de Cuernavaca
E A
La calle tiene un duende de 13 años.
F C
El duende mas que duende es un niño errante
Bb A
Un globo que ha escapado y se lleva el viento.
D A
Que vaga ya la senda del transhumante
Bb A
Recien amanecidos sus sentimientos.
Estribillo
D G D
Pequeño Juan, Juan Golondrina,
E A
Vecino de los gatos y las cantinas.
D G D
Pequeño Juan, Juan Golondrina,
D E A Dm
Cantandose la vida por las esquinas
Embrión de donde nace el titiritero.
Retal de la ternura, gorrión a penas
Que a lo mejor mañana será jilguero,
Contando con que pase de este poema.
Perito en madrugadas bajo los puentes,
Aveces en el metro o a donde sea.
Estribillo
Dm Gm Dm
Perdoname, Juan, la imprudencia
Dm E A
De advertir a la gente de tu existencia,
Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm
Si no te importa, vamos al parque,
Dm E
Que tengo una par de cuentos,
A Dm
Para contarte.
