While the [G]boys hang at the co[C]rner store
Drinkin [Em7]Iron Beer rollin' d[D]ice on the floor
There is[G] two old timers talking po[C]litics
About the[Em7] Bay Of Pigs and Alfa '[D]66
[G]Willie Chirino on the r[C]adio

On the Southwest side [G]

There's a[G] soldier standing in s[C]ilk fatigues
[Em7]Dictating who st[D]ays and who leaves
While a [G]desperate man crashes t[C]hrough the gates
There's an [Em7]uprising at Guan[D]tanamo Bay
You don[G]'t know what you've got[C] till it's gone
So em[Em7]brace your freedom don't ev[D]er let it go
There's an[G] American flag waving in a C[C]uban breeze
[Em7]Fidel Castro is [D]no Jos&
