[Verse 1]
Am G A girl cries in the early morning Em Am Woken by the sound of a gun Am G She knows somewhere somebody's dying Em F Beneath the rising sun C G Outside the window of her cabaña Am Em The shadows are full of her fears C G She knows her lover is out there somewhere Am Em He's been on the run for a year
[Chorus]
F G Am Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[Verse 2]
Am G The bell rings out on the chapel steeple Em Am The priest prepares to say mass Am G The sad congregation come tired and hungry Em F To pray their troubles will pass C G Outside the sun rises over the dusty streets Am Em Where the crowd gathers round C G Flies and mosquitoes are drinking from pools of blood Am Em Where his body is found
[Chorus]
F G Am Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[Verse 3]
Am G Out on the ranch the rich man's preparing Em Am to go for his morning ride Am G They've saddled his horse out in the corral Em F He walks out full of pride C G He looks like a cowboy in one of those pictures Am Em The president made in the past C G The peasants in rags, they stand back for they know Am Em that Enrico gallops fast
[Chorus]
F G Am Over the soul of El Salvador
