[Verse 1]

One morning in Bolivia

The leader of the partisans

And two of his companions
C D
Were forced to flee the mountains for their lives
[Verse 2]
Em
Through green and dusty villages
G Em
They sped along the little roads
G C
The peasants smiled and shouted as they hurried by
Em
Jesus called out to everyone, "Don't think that we are leaving
D C G
They only tried to frighten us with guns, we shall return"
[Chorus 1]

Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Verse 3]
D Em
The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a little while
Then stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty
Bm Em
The body of Jesus was in the jeep
D C
That they blew up before it reached the plane
Bm C
The priest was proud to bless him
D G C
For what there was of him remaining in the afternoon
[Chorus 1]

Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk
G Eb
You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands
[Chorus 2]
C G
There is no one who can show you
C Eb
The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone
[Verse 4]
D Em
The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut
D C
Where on the table lies the body of a man
Em Bm Em
His face is pale and young, his beard is dark and curled
D Em C Em
Pennies hold his eyelids from the evening light
[Verse 5]
Bm Em
People from the village, those who knew him, those who killed him
Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty
D C
They watch the priest make silent crosses in the air
Em G
And pray to god inside their hearts for their own souls
[Chorus 1]
C G
Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands

To own your lives, to own your lands

And then tomorrow they are gone

You have it in your hands

To own your lives, to own your lands

They only tell you, they can show you

And then tomorrow they are gone
