-------------------------................ 

Intro: 

Am 

Verse 1: 

Am                      Am/G 
 I worked the fields my father worked 
F                        E 
 From dawn until setting sun 
Am                      Am/G 
 My calloused hands and wind-burned face 
F                    E 
 Have marked me as a man 

Chorus 1: 

C                     G 
 Who has no voice, no rights, no hope 
F                     E 
 No place to call his own 
        Am       Am/G  F      E       Am    
And the skeletons   of Quinto call me home 

Bridge 1: 

Dm                                       Am 
 The silver tentacles of the moon's rays haunt me 
Dm                                     
 The deathly silence of the mountains  
E 
 Chills me to the bone 
        Am       Am/G  F      E       Am    
And the skeletons   of Quinto call me home 

Verse 2: 

Am                  Am/G             F              E 
 If I lived to be a hundred, I won't know me Papa's plight 
Am                  Am/G 
 The cruelty of the master's whip 
F                   E 
 The horrors of the night 

Chorus 2: 

C                       G 
 He braved them all and stood his ground 
F                 E 
 The bravest ever known 
        Am       Am/G  F      E       Am    
And the skeletons   of Quinto call me home 

Bridge 2: (Instrumental) 

Dm  Am  Dm  E  Am  Am/G  F  E 
Am  Am/G  F  E 
C  G  F  E 
Am  Am/G  F  E  Am  

(Spanish): 

Un Oceano de verguenza incita nuestros recuerdos 
Las estranguladas pesadillas de muerte 
Me estremecen hasta los huesos 
Y los esqueleetos de Quinto me llaman a mi morada 

Verse 3: 

Am                    Am/G              
 I know that somehow, in the world,  
F                    E 
 The workers must be free 
Am                       Am/G    
 The toil and sweat, and tyranny,  
F                     E 
 The fascist jeu d'es-prit 

Chorus 3: 

C                   G            
 Will only serve to keep us down,  
    F                E 
And aid the bourgeoi-sie 
        Am       Am/G  F      E       Am    
And the skeletons   of Quinto call me home
