Well, I just [G] want to fall in love [A] and not mess it up [Am] and [C] feel something.
[G] Well, lately [B] I don't understand [C] what I am.
Treated [G] as a fool, not quite [B] a woman or [C] a man.
Well, I [G] don't know.
I guess [B] I don't understand the [C] plan.
[G] Humanized [Am] and hypnotized, [C] be something.
[G] Sterilized, [Am] dehumanized, [C] be something.

[A] Lately I'm not too [E] afraid [F#m] to die.
I want to leave it all [B] behind.
I think about it [D] sometimes.
[A] And lately all my time's [E] been moving [F#m] slow.
I don't know where I'm gonna [B] go.
Just give me time and I'll [D] know.

[F#]
[D] [F#m] [Bm] Oh, any day [F#m] now.
[Bm] Oh, any day [D] now.
I will come along.
Oh, I will come along.
They all died, dreaming, hating, and waiting.
Dead Puerto Ricans who never knew they were Puerto Ricans.
Who never took a coffee break from the Ten Commandments.
To kill, kill, kill the landlords of their cracked skulls.
And communicate with their Latino [B] souls.
[Bm] [D] Juan, Miguel, Carlos, Olga, Andrew.
From the nervous breakdown streets where the mice live like milking air.
[Bm] And the people do not live at [D] all.
[A]
[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] [D] From [A] El Faro to [Bm] Guayetimo.
[D] Palame!
And [A] from Marble Hill to the [Bm] coast of Everett Hill.
[D] Palame!
And to [A] white, [Bm] [D] and to [A] all who have died.
[Bm] We say, [D] Palame!
And to [A] all who lost their [Bm] pride.
We say, Pa!
[D] And [A] to all who have to [Bm] survive.
We say, [D] Palame!
[A]
[B] [D] Palame!
