[Verse 1]
Em One morning in Bolivia Bm C The leader of the partisans Em And two of his companions C D Were forced to flee the mountains for their lives
[Verse 2]
Em Through green and dusty villages G Em They sped along the little roads G C The peasants smiled and shouted as they hurried by Em Jesus called out to everyone, "Don't think that we are leaving D C G They only tried to frighten us with guns, we shall return"
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
[Verse 3]
D Em The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a little while
Then stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty
Bm Em The body of Jesus was in the jeep D C That they blew up before it reached the plane Bm C The priest was proud to bless him D G C For what there was of him remaining in the afternoon
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G There is no one who can show you C Eb The road you should be on G Eb They only tell you, they can show you Em And then tomorrow they are gone
[Verse 4]
D Em The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut D C Where on the table lies the body of a man Em Bm Em His face is pale and young, his beard is dark and curled D Em C Em Pennies hold his eyelids from the evening light
[Verse 5]
Bm Em People from the village, those who knew him, those who killed him
Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty
D C They watch the priest make silent crosses in the air Em G And pray to god inside their hearts for their own souls
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G There is no one who can show you C Eb The road you should be on G Eb They only tell you, they can show you Em And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G There is no one who can show you C Eb The road you should be on G Eb They only tell you, they can show you Em And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G There is no one who can show you C Eb The road you should be on G Eb They only tell you, they can show you Em And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G Continue with your work C Eb Continue with your talk G Eb You have it in your hands Em To own your lives, to own your lands
