Ballad of William Worthy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, it's of a bold reporter
whose [A]story I will [D]tell
He [G]went down to the Cuban
land, the [D]nearest place to hell
He'd [G]been there many times before,
but [D]now the law does [Bm]say
The [D]only way to Cuba is [A]with the [D]CIA
William [G]Worthy isn't worthy
to [D]enter our door
[A]Went down to Cuba, he's
not Amer[D]ican anymore
But [G]somehow it is strange to hear the
[D]State Department [Bm]say
You are [D]living in the free world,
in the [A]free world you must [D]stay
Five thousand dollars or a five year
[A]sentence may well [D]be
For a [G]man who had the nerve to
think that [D]travelin' is free
Oh [G]why'd he waste his time
to see [D]a dictator's [Bm]reign
When he [D]could have seen democracy
by [A]travelin' on to [D]Spain?
William [G]Worthy isn't worthy
[D]to enter our door
[A]Went down to Cuba,
he's not [D]American anymore
But [G]somehow it is strange to hear the
[D]State Department [Bm]say
You are [D]living in the free world,
in the [A]free world you must [D]stay
So, come all you good travelers
and [A]fellow-travelers, too
[D]too
Yes, and [G]travel all around the world,
[D]see every country through
I'd [G]surely like to come along and
[D]see what may be [Bm]new
[D]But my passport's disappearing as I
[A]sing these words to [D]you
Well, there really is no need to
travel [A]to these evil [D]lands
Yes, and [G]though the list grows larger
you must [D]try to understand
[G]Try hard not to be surprised if
[D]someday you should [Bm]hear
The [D]whole world is off limits,
[A]visit Disneyland this [D]year
William [G]Worthy isn't worthy
to [D]enter our door
[A]Went down to Cuba, he's
not Amer[D]ican anymore
But [G]somehow it is strange to hear the
[D]State Department [Bm]say
You are [D]living in the free world,
in the [A]free world you must [D]stay
