Verse 1:
    Am         Dm       G        Am
Oh, say do you remember 25 years ago,
     E                  Am         E                  Am   C C/B Am
They fought the fascist army, they fought the fascist foe?

Do you remember Franco, Hitler's old ally?

Chorus:
G
Ai, ai, ai, ai
F
Did you wonder why?
        C              E    E7
Did you ever pause and cry?

Verse 2:
    Am               Dm               G                  Am
And don't forget the churches and the sad role that they played:
     E               Am         E                  Am     C C/B Am
They crucified their people and worked the devil's trade;
    Am                 Dm               G          Am
But now the wounds are healing with the passing of time,
      E                    Am         E               Am    C C/B Am
So we send them planes and rifles and recognize their crime.

Chorus:
G
Ai, ai, ai, ai
F
Did you wonder why?
        C              E    E7
Did you ever pause and cry?

Verse 3:
   Am                 Dm          G               Am
So spend your tourist dollars and turn your heads away.
   E             Am                  E                 Am   C C/B Am
Forget about the slaughter, it's the price we all must pay,
    Am                 Dm           G               Am
For now the world's in struggle, to win we all must bend:
   E                Am                    E                Am      C C/B Am
So dim the light in Freedom's soul: sleep well tonight, my friend.

Chorus:
G
Ai, ai, ai, ai
F
Did you wonder why?
        C              E    E7
Did you ever pause and cry?

Am
