VERSE

      BB     E MajorE
Dal e mi soula, y me incuerdo
BB       E MajorE
Did you see my family?
BB       E MajorE
We had a sweet simple glory
     BB  A augmentedA  E MajorE
We had a gallant who works for me

[PAUSE]

CHORUS

A augmentedA  E MajorE
For I was once an immortal
       BB   A augmentedA E MajorE
With General Walker's gringo army
A augmentedA   E MajorE
Yeah, I was once an immortal
       BB   A augmentedA E MajorE
With William Walker's gringo army

Must be seven years that I followed him
All across the southern sea
And I never thought I'd hear the hammer
Beating on the iron of slavery

For I was once an immortal
With General Walker's gringo army
Yeah, I was once an immortal
With William Walker's gringo army

Yeah, I hear the horrors go to the barricade
You're going hungry without any guns
So senorita for the last time now
Share some love with the unknown one

For I was once an immortal
With General Walker's gringo army
Yeah, I was once an immortal
With William Walker's gringo army

Yeah, I thinkin' on immortal
In William Walker's gringo army
