Ok, so Desaparecidos are back after a ridiculously long hiatus & they've probably
released the 3 best double A-sides ever; but what am I saying; you know that,
that's why you're here to rock-out.
(Notes: Tabbed thanks to the amazing Chorify ("Something"[1] search it) - on both
verse & chorus drop the accenting notes off the chords - listen to the song for
the rhythm, but it's super easy to pick up). - Song is open, in standard tuning,
they're about to start playing it live, so let's see if they transpose it upwards
with Capos; but none needed for this tab.
- Special thanks to Denver Dalley for introducing me to my biggest hero: Conor
Oberst, & hanging out with us all on tour (along with Matt Baum, Landon Hedges,
Ian McElroy & all the great folks who made a few small town rock shows the
greatest; seriously!); hopefully this little ditty does you proud.

E A D G
When tear gas falls and bullets fly // I'm going to stay right by your side

All winter we will march // By spring this town is ours

Oh Camila, You have a fire in your heart

You have the people in your palm
They're overflowing in the plaza
Here to sing your rebel song

Assassins stalk and insults fly // I know you're not afraid to die
And when I look into your eyes // I know that now neither am I

Hear the cacerolazos start // Banging down the boulevard
[Chorus]

We've been saving for today
Let me carry your umbrella
Let's go walking in the rain
