Farewell Francisco Madero

Am                F      C
In the ghettos of Mexico City
           Fmaj7        C         G
Beyond the rose-colored palace of Cortez
       Am       F           C
No one dared to walk in the dark streets
         Fmaj7    G E Ab Am
In the reign of Porfirio Diaz


[Verse 2]
Am         F            C
By '86 the mines were exhausted
    Fmaj7       C          G
no longer their silver did flow
       Am           F            C
Towns slumbered and slept in the 10th year
            Fmaj7        G E Ab Am
Of what was known as the Porfiriato


[Verse 3]
Am                  F         C
From the north came Francisco Madero
    Fmaj7        C            G
To oppose the dictatorship at last
       Am          F               C
He was jailed but escaped to San Antonio
            Fmaj7         G           E Ab  Am
But marched back with his men through Eagle Pass


[Chorus]
Am            F       C
Farewell, Francisco Madero
     Fmaj7        C               G
Your like again no longer will be seen
       Am      F         C
Gunned down by General Huerta
   Fmaj7    G   E   Ab  Am
In nineteen hundred thirteen


[Verse 4]
Am             F        C
Maderistas not winning elections
        Fmaj7    C         G
Against Diaz took up their guns
       Am       F           C
In the year of our Lord nineteen ten
     Fmaj7   G      E   Ab Am
Mexico's revolution had begun


[Verse 5]
Am                      F             C
From the north came the bandit Poncho Villa
  Fmaj7   C               G
A warrior who knew how to fight
         Am         F          C
From the south, the fearless Zapata
   Fmaj7        G  E Ab Am
To ride for the Army of Right


[Verse 6]
Am                    F                C
And the next year, in nineteen hundred eleven
  Fmaj7 C           G
Diez to France fled away
       Am       F              C
Maderistas they sought a constitution
    Fmaj7    G     E  Ab Am
For six long years and a day


[Chorus]
Am            F       C
Farewell, Francisco Madero
     Fmaj7        C               G
Your like again no longer will be seen
       Am      F         C
Gunned down by General Huerta
   Fmaj7    G   E   Ab  Am
In nineteen hundred thirteen
