All right, here's a song that could have been sung by an old soldier who rode with Zapata or [Am] Che Guevara
or [Gm] Jesus Christ
[G] one of them revolutionaries
[C]
[F] Were we better then?
With our backs against the [C] wall
Were
[G] we better men?
Than we'd ever been [C] before
Say
[F] if she came again today, would you still answer when she [C] called?
[G] Tell the truth my friend
Don't it matter anymore?
[C]
[F] We were simple men
By her side when she [C] was born
Talking about the dream
[G] It was simple then
like the freedom when [C] you fall and
[F] We were smaller than you see but soon we gathered [C] like a storm
They
[G] don't understand
What that thunder [C] man at all
[Am] [F]
[C]
[G]
[C]
[F] Was he crucified?
Was he done in [C] by the law?
[G] Are you satisfied?
He'll never [C] ride again
Some
[F] people say he got away.
They say he never [C] died at all
[G] If that story's true
Don't it bother [C] you my friend?
[F] Was it better then?
With our backs [C] against the wall
Say 2,000 years ago
[G] Were we better men?
Than we've ever [C] been before
A few hundred years ago
[F] And if she came again today, would you still answer [C] to her call?
or tomorrow
[G] Tell the truth my friend
Don't it matter [C] anymore?
[F]
