Judy Collins - Che
[Verse 1]
Em
One morning in Bolivia
Bm C
The leader of the partisans
Em
And two of his companions
C D
Were forced to flee the mountains for their lives
[Verse 2]
Em
Through green and dusty villages
G Em
They sped along the little roads
G C
The peasants smiled and shouted as they hurried by
Em
Jesus called out to everyone, "Don't think that we are leaving
D C G
They only tried to frighten us with guns, we shall return"
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Verse 3]
D Em
The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a little while
Then stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty
Bm Em
The body of Jesus was in the jeep
D C
That they blew up before it reached the plane
Bm C
The priest was proud to bless him
D G C
For what there was of him remaining in the afternoon
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G
There is no one who can show you
C Eb
The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone
[Verse 4]
D Em
The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut
D C
Where on the table lies the body of a man
Em Bm Em
His face is pale and young, his beard is dark and curled
D Em C Em
Pennies hold his eyelids from the evening light
[Verse 5]
Bm Em
People from the village, those who knew him, those who killed him
Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty
D C
They watch the priest make silent crosses in the air
Em G
And pray to god inside their hearts for their own souls
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G
There is no one who can show you
C Eb
The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G
There is no one who can show you
C Eb
The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G
There is no one who can show you
C Eb
The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
