Adelante The Ballad Of Clem Becket chords by Joe Solo

Intro: C

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

F                         C
Fate mixed Our lives up together
     G                    Am
And landed Us on the same side
   F                          C
A speedway star fighting for words here
Am      F                    G
 And a poet on a dare devil ride

   C     Am   F       G
Adelante  -  Forward forever
   C     Am       F               G
Adelante  -  You must stand Your ground
   Am    Em   F       C
Adelante  -  Forward forever
 F       C           G          C
Forward forever and never back down

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

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

   C     Am   F       G
Adelante  -  forward forever
   C     Am       F               G
Adelante  -  You must stand Your ground
   Am    Em   F       C
Adelante  -  forward forever
 F       C           G          C
Forward forever and never back down

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

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

   C     Am   F       G
Adelante  -  forward forever
   C     Am       F               G
Adelante  -  You must stand Your ground
   Am    Em   F       C
Adelante  -  forward forever
 F       C           G          Am
Forward forever and never back down
 F       C           G          C
Forward forever and never back down
