[Verse]
E
Oh! Mama, Mama look there!

       E
Your children are playing in that street again

 E
Don't you know what happened down there?

   E
A youth of fourteen got shot down there

     E
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town

     E
The killing clowns, the blood money men

      B        A  B            E
Are shooting those Washington bullets again
[Verse]
    E
As every cell in Chile will tell

      E
The cries of the tortured men

   E
Remember Allende, and the days before,

   E
Before the army came

  E
Please remember Victor Jara,

E
In the Santiago Stadium,

B      A  B                  E
Es verdad, those Washington Bullets again
[Verse]
            E
And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961,

   E
Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun,

     E
For Castro is a color,

      E
Is a redder than red,

       E
Those Washington bullets want Castro dead

     B             A      B
For Castro is the color...

                          E
...That will earn you a spray of lead
[Chorus]
E
(...instrumental...)

B     A  B E
Sandinista!
[Verse]
E
For the very first time ever,

           E
When they had a revolution in Nicaragua,

       E
There was no interference from America

 E
Human rights in America

     E
The people fought the leader,

     E
And up he flew...

         E
With no Washington bullets what else could he do?

B     A  B E
Sandinista!
[Verse]
            E
And if you can find a Afghan rebel

          E
That the Moscow bullets missed

                  E
Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist...

   E
...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,

 E
How many monks did the Chinese get?

      E
In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary,

      E
And check the British bullets in his armory

B     A  B E
Sandinista!  Qué?
[Chorus]
E
(...instrumental...)

B     A  B E
Sandinista!
