Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There's a Spanish girl
with [C]ebony eyes
[Am]Selling Cuban coffee and guava [D]pies
While [G]the boys hang at the corner [C]store
[Am]Drinkin Iron Beer rollin'
dice [G]on the floor
There is two old timers talking [C]politics
About [Em]the Bay Of Pigs [C]and Alfa '[G]66
Willie Chirino on the ra[C]dio[Am]
Cheguevara is no [D]hero
It's just another [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[G]e
There's a soldier standing [C]in silk fatigues
[Am]Dictating who stays and [D]who leaves
While [G]a desperate man crashes
through [C]the gates
There's [Am]an uprising at
[D]Guantanamo Bay
[G]You don't know what
you've got [C]till it's gone
So [Em]embrace your freedom
don't [C]ever let it go
There's [G]an American flag
waving in a Cuban [C]breeze
[Am]Fidel Castro is no J[D]osé Martiz
It's just another [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[G]e
It's just an[D]other [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[Em]e
It's just another [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[G]e
They were born in the [C]ocean
They [G]were baptized by [D]the sea[G]
They find a revolu[C]tion to [G]fight
Freedom in Miami [D]Beach
It's just another [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[G]e
It's just an[D]other [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[Em]e
It's just another [C]day[D]
It's just another [C]day[D]
It's just another [C]day
[D]On the Southwest sid[G]e
[D]Oh [G]say can you see
