Chords

[Intro] E A B7 x4 [Verse 1]
    E                 A
For thirty years they sang the

       B7
Song of promised victory

    E                      A
But who they've fought and who has won

      B7
Didn't matter much to me

  E                A
I see them driving down the streets

        B7
In their fancy shiny cars

E                  A
Crowds of people to their feet

                        B7
Their faces full of scars

   E                A
No pleasantries, no luxuries

  B7
No little children's milk

      E                      A
While minister's wives spent all their lives

  B7
In China's finest silk

   E                  A
My back's been broken many times

      B7
But my spirit lingers on

    E               A
The day it comes my way on

          B7
Freedom's ship I will be gone
[Chorus]
     E       A      B7
From hell to paradise

     E      A       B7
I'll always pay the price

     E      A       B7
From hell to paradise

     E      A       B7
I'll always pay the price
[Solo Section] E A B7 x8 [Verse 2]
     E           A
This ninety mile trip

         B7
Has taken thirty years to make

     E             A
They tried to keep forever what was

B7
never theirs to take

  E                        A
Well I cursed and scratched the devil's hand

      B7
As he stood in front of me

E                      A
One last drag from his big cigar

       B7
And he finally set me free
[Guantanamera Intro] E6 A B7 X3 [Verse 1]
          E         A     B7
Yo soy un hombre sincero

         E         A      B7
De donde crecen las palmas

          E         A    B7
Yo soy un hombre sincero

         E  A     B7
De donde crecen las palmas

           E        A
Y antes de morir yo quiero

          E          A    B7
Echar mis versos del alma,  Hup!
[Chorus]
A             B7

        E       A    B7
Guajira Guantanamera

E       A    B7

        E       A     B7
Guajira Guantanamera
[Verse 2]
        E   A           B7
Cultivo una, rosa blanca

         E         A    B7
En junio como en enero

        E   A          B7
Cultivo una, rosa blanca

         E  A    B7
En junio como en enero

         E       A    B7
Para mi amigo sincero

       E           A     B7
Que me da su mano franca
[Chorus]
