Mal Sacate

E

[Verse]
          E                                                            B7
Mister Moneyman I know you've had your way, and I know the way you're winnin'
                                                                             E
And that bloody hand you're holdin' ain't no bargain at the price you had to pay
                                                                          B7
You have stolen all the land that you can steal, and you killed so many heroes
                                                                    E
But the dreams they left behind them ain't as easy as a man to blow away

[Chorus]
          E                                 B7
And they say "El mal sacate, ni el fuego lo quema"
                                                         E
And los Mexicanos dicen "cosa mala nunca muere" don't ya know
                                                               B7
Said the fire don't burn a bad weed boy, and a bad thing never dies
                                                                      E
Like the bad weeds growin' wild around the broken wounded body of El Salvador

E  B7

[Verse]
B7                                                       E
They killed so many heroes, like Zapata (presente!) and Fonseca (presente!)

and Sandino (presente!) and Guevarra (presente!) and Allende (presente!)
     B7
and Aquino (presente!) and Steve Biko (presente!) but they can never kill the human spirit
           E
not in Nicaragua

[Chorus]
E              B7
Aye-aye-aye Nicaragua
                  E
Aye-aye-aye Sandinista
