[Gm] Ustavi's leaving us for the Dominican Republic?
And Benny went and [Fm] stole the girl that I'm in love with?
She [C#] was my babysitter [Dm] first
[Bm] Listen up, is this [F] what y'all want?
We closed the bodega, [E] the neighborhood [Gm] is gone
They're selling the dispatcher and they're closing [C] the salon
And don't ever turn the lights back on
[A] Cause we [Dm] are [C] powerless, [F] we are powerless
And y'all [Gm] keep dancing and singing and [F] [A#] celebrating
And it's getting late and this place is [F] [A] disintegrating
We [Dm] are [C] powerless, we [F] are powerless
_ [A#] Alright, we're powerless, so light up a candle
There's [C] nothing going on here that [C#] we can't [D] handle
[D#m] Maybe you're right, sonny, call in the coroners
Maybe we're [B] powerless, a corner full of foreigners
[F#] Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever
[C#] Maybe tonight is our last night [D] together, however
[Em] How do you wanna face it?
Do you [C] wanna waste it when the end is so close you can't [G] take it?
Y'all can cry with your head in the [D] sand
I'ma fly [B] this flag that I got in my hand
[Em] Arriba esa [D] bandera, [G] hey!
Alzala donde quiera, [Am] hey!
Can we raise our voice tonight?
[D] Can we make a little noise tonight?
[D#] Hey!
[Em] Esa bonita [F#m] [G] bandera, hey!
Contiene mi alma [Am] entera, hey!
In fact, can we sing so loud and raucous
[D] They can hear us across the bridge in [D#] Easy [Em] Parkin?
Arriba esa [Bm] bandera, hey!
[G] Alzala donde quiera, [E] hey!
From Puerto [Am] Rico to San Domingo
Wherever [D] we go, we rep our people [D#m] in the [Em] beat, yo!
Esa bonita [Bm] bandera, hey!
[G] Contiene mi alma [E] entera, [Am] hey!
