[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][G][D]
[Dsus4][G][D]

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