[Verse 1]
CEmFC
They came in wide boats many years ago,
FGCC
they gave you presents and promised you a lot.
CEmFC
But they lock you on a chain, put you in a mine,
FEmGCC
and a said: "work for the glory of our GOD".
[Chorus]
FCGC
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
FCGC
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
FCGC
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
FCGCC
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.

[Verse 2]
CEmFC
They said you're just an indian, not better than a beast,
FGCC
only good for working like a slave.
CEmFC
And so you're sweat and run 'til the day is done,
FEmGCC
while you know you WOULD be better in your grave.
[Chorus]
FCGC
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
FCGC
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
FCGC
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
FCGC
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.
[End-Chorus]
FCGC
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
FCGC
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
FCGC
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
FCGCC
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.
