El Salvador

  Am                 G
A girl cries in the early morning
Em                       Am
Woken by the sound of a gun
Am                  G
She knows somewhere somebody's dying
Em                 F
Beneath the rising sun
C                  G
Outside the window of her cabaña
    Am                       Em
The shadows are full of her fears
C                      G
She knows her lover is out there 
somewhere
     Am                    Em
He's been on the run for a year

[Chorus]
F       G               Am
Oh, the soul of El Salvador

[Verse 2]

    Am                    G
The bell rings out on the chapel 
steeple
    Em                      Am
The priest prepares to say mass
    Am                    G
The sad congregation come tired and 
hungry
   Em                         F
To pray their troubles will pass
C                     G
Outside the sun rises over the dusty
 streets
Am                          Em
   Where the crowd gathers round
C                          G
Flies and mosquitoes are drinking 
from pools of blood
Am                    Em
   Where his body is found

[Chorus]
F       G               Am
Oh, the soul of El Salvador

[Verse 3]
Am                   G
Out on the ranch the rich man's 
preparing
   Em                 Am
to go for his morning ride
        Am                    G
They've saddled his horse out in the
 corral
   Em                F
He walks out full of pride
   C                      G
He looks like a cowboy in one of 
those pictures
     Am                   Em
The president made in the past
    C                           
The peasants in rags, they stand 
 G
back for they know
       Am            Em
that Enrico gallops fast

[Chorus]
         F  G            Am
Over the soul of El Salvador
