Here's a song about Franco Spain today
[F]
[Bbm] [G] It's state-based partly on
[Bbm] [Bbm] Oh
[F]
Say do you remember?
[Ab] 25 [Bb] years ago
[F] They fought the [Bb] fascist army
[F] They fought the [Bbm] fascist foe
Do you remember [Bb] Franco?
Hitler's old ally
[F] He butchered [G] Spain's democracy half a million free men died
[Ab]
Did you wonder why [Db] did you ever pause [F] and cry
And don't [Eb] forget the churches [Ab] and the sad role [Bbm] that they play
[F] They crucified [Bb] their people [F] and work the devil's [Bbm] trade
But now the wounds are [Ab] healing with the passing [Bb] on of time
[G] so we send them planes and rifles [F] and
recognize their crime [Ab] I
Did you wonder why [Db]
did you ever pause [F] and cry
So spend your [Bb] tourist dollars [Ab] and turn your [Bb] heads away
[F] Forget about the slaughter.
It's the [Fm] price we all must [Bbm] pay
For now the world's [Bb] in struggle to win.
[Bbm] We all must bend
[G] So dim the light in freedom soul sleep.
Well tonight my friend [Ab]
I
[Ab] Did you wonder why [Db]
did you ever pause [F] and cry
[Bbm] You
[F]
[Bbm] [G] It's state-based partly on
[Bbm] [Bbm] Oh
[F]
Say do you remember?
[Ab] 25 [Bb] years ago
[F] They fought the [Bb] fascist army
[F] They fought the [Bbm] fascist foe
Do you remember [Bb] Franco?
Hitler's old ally
[F] He butchered [G] Spain's democracy half a million free men died
[Ab]
Did you wonder why [Db] did you ever pause [F] and cry
And don't [Eb] forget the churches [Ab] and the sad role [Bbm] that they play
[F] They crucified [Bb] their people [F] and work the devil's [Bbm] trade
But now the wounds are [Ab] healing with the passing [Bb] on of time
[G] so we send them planes and rifles [F] and
recognize their crime [Ab] I
Did you wonder why [Db]
did you ever pause [F] and cry
So spend your [Bb] tourist dollars [Ab] and turn your [Bb] heads away
[F] Forget about the slaughter.
It's the [Fm] price we all must [Bbm] pay
For now the world's [Bb] in struggle to win.
[Bbm] We all must bend
[G] So dim the light in freedom soul sleep.
Well tonight my friend [Ab]
I
[Ab] Did you wonder why [Db]
did you ever pause [F] and cry
[Bbm] You
