Pete Seeger – Saccos Last Letter (Guitar)

E
If nothing happens

                                     B7
They will electrocute us right after midnight

                    E
With love and with open heart

    B7         E
As I was yesterday

E
Don't cry Dante

                                 B7
For many many tears have been wasted

            E
For seven years

    B7              E
And never did any good

    B7                E
So son, instead of crying

             B7                    E
So as to be able to comfort your mother

E
And when you want

                                       B7
To distract her from the discouraging soleness

                  E
In the quiet countryside

             B7            E
Gathering flowers here and there

E
And resting under the shade of trees

                         B7
Beside the music of the waters

                       E
She will enjoy it very much

      B7             E
And you will surely too

E
But son you must remember

     B7
But down yourself just one step

                             E
To help the weak ones at your side

E
The weaker ones that cry for help

                        B7
The persecuted and the victims

                           E
They are the comrades that fight

       B7         E
Yes and sometimes fall

E
Just as your father

                          B7
Your father and Bartolo have fallen

                               E
Yesterday, for the conquest of joy

     B7         E
Of freedom for all

      B7                      E
In the struggle of life you'll find

             B7                       E
And in the struggle you will be loved also
