There's a GSpanish girl with Cebony eyes
Selling Em7Cuban coffee and gDuava pies
While the Gboys hang at the coCrner store
Drinkin Em7Iron Beer rollin' dDice on the floor
There is Gtwo old timers talking poClitics
About the Em7Bay Of Pigs and Alfa 'D66
GWillie Chirino on the rCadio
Em7Che Guevara is Dno hero
It's just another dayC  D  
On the Southwest sideG  
There's a Gsoldier standing in sCilk fatigues
Em7Dictating who stDays and who leaves
While a Gdesperate man crashes tChrough the gates
There's an Em7uprising at GuanDtanamo Bay
You donG't know what you've got Ctill it's gone
So emEm7brace your freedom don't evDer let it go
There's an GAmerican flag waving in a CCuban breeze
