[Verse 1]
[Am][E][Am]
Oh, say do you re
[Dm]member [G]25 years ago[Am],
They [E]fought the fascist [Am]army,
they [E]fought the [Am]fascist foe?
Do you remember fran[Dm]co,
[G]hitler's [Am]old ally?
[E]He butchered [Am]spain's democracy,half a
[E]million [Am]free men died.

[Verse 2]
Ai, [G]ai, ai, ai--
Did [F]you wonder why?
[C]Did you ever pause and [E]cry?

[Verse 3]
[Am]And don't forget the [Dm]churches and the
[G]sad role that they [Am]played:
[E]They crucified their [Am]people and
[E]worked [Am]the devil's trade;
But now the wounds are heal[Dm]ing with
[G]the passing [Am]of time,
[E]So we send them planes and [Am]rifles
[E]an d recognize their [Am]crime.
Ai, [G]ai, ai, ai--

[Verse 4]
[F]
Did you wonder why?
[C]Did you ever pause [E]and cry?

[Verse 5]
So [Am]spend your tourist [Dm]dollars an
[G]d turn your heads [Am]away.
[E]Forget [Am]about the slaughter,
it's the [E]price we all must [Am]pay,
For now the world's in [Dm]struggle,
to [G]win [Am]we all must [E]bend:
So dim the light in [Am]freedom's
soul: sleep [E]well tonight, my [Am]friend.
[G]Ai, ai, ai,

[Verse 6]
ai--
Did [F]you wonder why?
[C]Did you ever pau[E]se and[Am] cry?
