    C         F        G 
The Federales captured me 
C                     G7 
Bound up my arms with wire 
C                      F         G 
Officer came, he said ?Take your aim ?  
F                    G C 
Steady your guns and fire!?

Ripped up my shirt and my body?o 
C                         F        G 
Heart beat on through the silenced guns

To the rhythm of life inside me?o

One last shot to the head­?o 
C                            F      G 
Heard through the pain as he walked away 
    F                 G    C 
And left me there for dead?o 
C                   F        G 
All went quiet so I crawled away 
  C                       G7

C                F         G
