Intro 1
(D major) (Dsus4) (G major) (D major)
(Dsus4) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
My Nurse (D major)
My my mother in a mud brick room
She (Dsus4) weaves her days on a blanket balloon I
(G major) face conscription when I reach eight (D major) een
Old men starve and widows sigh
Behind (Dsus4) the fences corn grows (C major) high
And (G major) every night there's a disco
For the (A major) bills and the marketeers
(G major) Backland owners know (A major) no shame
Trades (B minor) with
Franks and (C major) quaff champagne
In (B minor) the hills they grow (C major) cocaine
For the (A major) dealers from the north
There's (B flat major) no grave for (C major) heroes here
Some (D major) speak out in (C major) tongue of fear
Every (D major) week more (C major) disappear
There's (A major) blood upon the (E minor) re
ins (Esus4) (A minor)
(C major) (E minor)
Pow (D major) -mow, soft -packs,
American guns
Govern (Dsus4) ment troops bask
in the sun (C major)
(Dsus4) Drawing straws (G major) for the whores
from the shanty town (D major) s
Beneath the truncheon
you bow and scrape
You learn to hustle, you (Dsus4) learn to hate
Bolt (G major) the doors when squads patrol
And (A major) terror stalks the night
Suffer (G major) my country, (A major) children weep
So (B minor) much pain, (C major) oh so deep
People (B minor) sow and the (C major) fascists reap
And (A major) conscience has no name
A (B flat major) new beginning or a (C major) hangman's rope
While (D major) caution slept, our (C major) courage wove
We (D major) took up arms, we (C major) took up hope
There's (A major) blood upon the (E minor) rain (A major) (Esus4)
(E minor)
(A major) (Esus4) (A major) (Esus4) (A minor) (C major)
(E minor)
Cut (D major) your life in each short breath
Another (Dsus4) skirmish, a nameless death
The tracks are mined, (G major)
there's snipers in the trees (D major)
The mountain mists hide for years
Our (Dsus4) silent power, bathing tears
The (G major) valley streams are poisoned
And the (A major) gunships scour the plains
Cock (G major) your rifle, (A major) mumble prayers
Lie (B minor) in ambush, (C major) wet and scared
Far (B minor) from towns where
(C major) Dalai's stare and tequila (A major) loosens tongues
Feel (B flat major) the strength, (C major) feel the fire,
a (D major) nation caged behind (C major) barbed wire
A (D major) million hearts with (C major) one desire,
there's (A major) blood upon the rain (B minor) (A major)
(G major) Compañeros, (A major) eyes that shine,
(B minor) closest brothers we (C major) pass the wine
The (B minor) fu ture's ours,
(C major) seize the time and (A major) fan the rising flame
Kill (B flat major) the beast, and (C major) life begins
Si (D major) lently we spread (C major) our wings
If (D major) harvests fail, we (C major) reap the wind
As (A major) blood upon the rain (E minor)
Blood upon the rain
