_ _ [E] _ _ _ There's a sunny little country south of Mexico
[A] Where [F#] the winds are gentle and the waters are free
[A] But breezes aren't the only [Am] things that blow
[E] In El Salvador
[B] If [E] you took the little lady for a moonlight [A] drive
[F#] Odds are still good, you'd come [Gm] back alive
[A] But everyone is innocent [Am] until they arrive
[E] In El Salvador
[E] _ [A] The rebels take a bus [B] on the Grand [A] Highway
[G#m] The government destroys a [C#m] village miles [Bm] away
[A] The man [D] on the radio [B] says, now we'll place our [E] son on [A] board
And [E] _ [G#] _ [A] in the morning [B] the natives [E] say
[G#] We're happy you have [C#m] lived another [A] day
Last night a thousand [B] more passed away in El [E] Salvador
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [A] There's [B] [E] a television crew here from ABC
[F#] Filming Rio Lampa and the refugees
[A] Calling murdered [Am] children the tragedy [E] of El Salvador
[B] _ [B] [E] Before the government camera twenty feet away
[F#] Another man is asking for continued [A] aid
Food and [Am] medicine and hand [E] grenades for his cell
The [A] _
[B] rumble in the building [G#] swings
A soldier [C#m] fires the acid [A] spray
The public [B] atrocious trip starts to blaze [E] out of the boy
[E] _ _ [A] You run for [B] cover and hide your [G#] eyes
You hear the [C#m] screams from paradise
[A] They fall in [Bm] further than you realize in [C#m] El Salvador
_ _ [A] Well _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[D#] _ [A] just _ [E] like
Poland is protected by her Russian [Em] friends
[F#] The junta is assisted by Americans
[A] And if sixty million dollars [Am] seems too much [E] to spend in El Salvador
They say for a half a billion they could do it right
[F#] Bomb all day and burn all night
[A] Until there's not a [Am] living thing of right [E] in El Salvador
_ [A] Well continue training [B] troops in the USA
[G#m] And watch the [C#m] nuns that got [A] away
And teach the [B] military bands to blaze [E] out of the mortar
And [D] _ [A] kill the people [B] who set [Em] them [G#] free
Who put their price [C#m] on their [Em] liberty
[A] [Bm] Don't you think it's time to leave El [A] Salvador?
