Chords for El Salvador - Song by Peter, Paul and Mary

[C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [E] There's a sunny little country south of Mexico
[F#] Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow
[A] But breezes aren't the only things [Am] that blow [E] in El Salvador
_ _ [B] _ If you [E] took the little lady for a moonlight drive
_ [F#] Odds are still good you'd come back alive
[A] But everyone is innocent [Am] until they arrive [E] in El Salvador
_ _ _ If [A] the rebels take a [B] bus on the Grand Highway
[G#m] And government [C#m] destroys a village miles away
[A] The man on the radio [B] says, now we'll play south [E] of the border
[F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] And in the morning [B] the natives [G#m] say
We're happy you have [C#m] lived another day
[A] Let's ride a thousand [B] miles past the wind in [E] El Salvador
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ There's [F#m] _ [E] a television crew here from ABC
_ [F#] Filming Rio Lampahan _ refugees
_ [A] Calling murdered [Am] children the tragedy [E] of El Salvador
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] Before the government camera twenty feet away
_ [F#] Another man is asking for continuity
[A] _
Food and [Am] medicine and hand grenades [E] for El Salvador
_ There's _ [A] a thump, a [B] rumble and a thudding [G#m] sway
A soldier [C#m] fires the acid spray
[A] The public address [B] system starts to play [E] south of the border
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [G#] _ [A] You run for [B] cover and hide your [G#m] eyes
You hear the [C#m] screams from _ paradise
[A] _
They call it better [B] than you realize it [C#m] El Salvador
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ La la la [F#] la la la la _ la la
_ _ [B] Just _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ like [E] Poland is protected by her Russian friends
[F#] But Punta is assisted by Americans
_ [A] And if sixty million dollars saves [Am] too much to spend [E] in El Salvador
_ _ They say for half a billion they could do it right
[F#] Bomb all day and burn all night
[A] Until there's not a living [Am] thing upright [E] in El Salvador
_ _ _ They'll [A] continue training troops [B] in the USA
[G#] _ [G#m] And watch the nuns that [C#m] got away
_ [A] And teach the [B] military bands to play south [E] of the border
[F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] And kill the [B] people to set them [G#m] free
Who put this price [C#m] on their liberty?
_ _ [A] Don't you [B] think it's time to leave El _ [A] _
Salvador?
