(C major)
Verse 1
The (C major) nighthawk flies and the owl cries
as we're driving down the road. (G major)
(A minor) Listening to the mu (E minor) sic on the
(F major) all night radio show, (G major)
The (C major) an nouncer comes on says if you've got
ideas I'll file the patent for (G major) you,
(A minor) What's an idea if it's (E minor) not in the store
(F major) makin' a (G major) buck or two. (C major)
We drive to the town but the shutters are down
and the all- night restaurant's (G major) closed
Its the (A minor) land of the freedom,
we've got booze (E minor) and T.V. and there's (F major) tramps in the telephone booth (G major) s.
The (C major) stars and the trees and the early Spring breeze
say forget what assassins have (G major) done,
(A minor) Take our good soil in the palm (E minor) of your hands
and (F major) wait for to (G major) morrows sun (C major) .

Verse 2
CHORUS. (C major)
Its a (F major) long (G major) way from the (C major) heartlands
to Santiago (F major) bay (G major)
Where the (A minor) good doctor lies
with (E minor) blood in his eyes
and the (F major) bullets (G major) read (C major) U.S.of A.

(C major) A truck driver's wife she has a rough life
he spends his life on the (G major) road.
(A minor) Carrying the goods all the (E minor) cop per and wood
thats (F major) what makes America great, (G major)
But the (C major) dollars like swallows they fly to the South where they
know they've got something to (G major) gain, (A minor)
Allende is killed, (E minor) and the (F major) trucks are soon (G major) rolling

Verse 4
The (C major) nighthawk flies (G major) and the (C major) owl it cries
as we're driving down the (G major) road,
The (A minor) full moon reveals all the house (E minor) s and fields
where (F major) good people do what they're told, (G major)
Victor (C major) Jara he lies with coins in his eyes
there's no one around him to (G major) mourn,
(A minor) Who needs a poet who (E minor) won't take commands who'd (F major) rather
make (G major) love then war.
