Intro: C majorC

   C majorC             G+G
Hey Spriggy, I'm glad that it's You here
   BB           C majorC
It's better to die with a friend
     D MajorD               G+G
You were there from the start back on Kings Street
  FF      C majorC     G+G
And here You are now at the end

FF             C majorC
Fate mixed Our lives up together
   G+G          A minorAm
And landed Us on the same side
  FF             C majorC
A augmentedA speedway star fighting for words here
A minorAm   FF          G+G
 And a poet on a dare devil ride

  C majorC   A minorAm  FF    G+G
Adelante - Forward forever
  C majorC   A minorAm    FF        G+G
Adelante - You must stand Your ground
  A minorAm  E minorEm  FF    C majorC
Adelante - Forward forever
 FF    C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Forward forever and never back down

Hey Spriggy. the fascists are coming
    BB             C majorC
But I'm damned if they're taking Madrid
  D MajorD             G+G
'Adelante', I know that means forward'
       FF      C majorC    G+G
It's been My motto since I was a kid

FF               C majorC
We must make Our stand in this valley
    G+G            A minorAm
In the olives, the scrub and the ash
    FF             C majorC
And I swear by the oil on these fingers
A minorAm  FF            G+G
 No Pasaran - They shall not pass!

  C majorC   A minorAm  FF    G+G
Adelante - forward forever
  C majorC   A minorAm    FF        G+G
Adelante - You must stand Your ground
  A minorAm  E minorEm  FF    C majorC
Adelante - forward forever
 FF    C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Forward forever and never back down

Hey Spriggy, You're dead at My shoulder
      BB           C majorC
And there's no-one to reload this gun
     D MajorD           G+G
But I'll fire it until My last bullet
       FF     C majorC       G+G
'Cos there's no way in Hell that I'll run

  FF            C majorC
I guess what it all boils down to
    G+G            A minorAm
Is the one lasting thing You can give
      FF             C majorC
That's Your life in the fight for Our freedom
A minorAm  FF            G+G
 To die so that Others might live

  C majorC   A minorAm  FF    G+G
Adelante - forward forever
  C majorC   A minorAm    FF        G+G
Adelante - You must stand Your ground
  A minorAm  E minorEm  FF    C majorC
Adelante - forward forever

Forward forever and never back down
 FF    C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Forward forever and never back down
