[C#]
Mountains bore the winter snow, [F#] like a fairy dress, while deep below, [G#] I worked and watched the tunnel [C#] grow, Pedro.
He taught me how to load the [F#] face with gelignite, and how to [G#] paste my strength against that tunnel [C#] race, Pedro.
Build a machine as big as you can, but you'll never push a tunnel without a plan.
Drilled and fired and the tunnel grew, we [F#] sweated for the bonus due, and we [G#] lived it up one day was true, [C#] Pedro.
Now, [G#] minus drink and minus fight, he'd do both, but then he'd write a letter to his girl each night with [C#] Pedro.
Come [G#] to me, he wrote, Carmela, [F#] Carmela, come [G#] to me.
[C#]
One day when we were a timber and ring, [F#] he said to me with a lazy grin,
[G#] So, in your new tunnel, learn everything [C#] like Pedro.
I turned around to crack his joke, [F#] but the rock had cracked, the roof had [G#] broke, choked with dust, I never spoke [C#] to Pedro.
Just as I was moving clear, [F#] for the second time I tasted [G#] fear, more rocks came crashing very [C#] near to Pedro.
Run, amigo, I heard him [F#] cry, the dust clipped clear, I saw him [G#] lie beneath that rock and I watched him [C#] die, Big Pedro.
Adios, Big Pedro, [F#] Big Pedro, [G#] adios,
[C#] adios.
Out there were men, men who [F#] tried, but I saw more than one who [G#] cried as they watched us on that local [C#] ride with Pedro.
Few were there who hadn't [F#] grown, a little large, I haven't [G#] known, the one whose manhood stood [C#] alone, Big Pedro.
Build a machine as big as you can, but you'll never push a tunnel without a man.
Carmela waits in the land of [F#] Spain, waits to see her love again, [G#] her tears won't drown the pain of [C#] losing Pedro.
