Listen close to this crooked mouth
C G7
For my story I will tell-o
C F G F G C
Lived in Mexico by the name of Wenseslao Moguel-o
C F G
Left my home in Santiago
C G7
The heart of the city of Merida
C F G
Served with my brothers and sisters all
F G C
For the army of Pancho Villa
C F G
Stand me straight against the nearest wall
C G7
Line up your bravest soldiers oh
C F G
Ten good shots I'll take them all
F G C
They call me El Fusilado
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
C F G
Bullet holes all across my chest
C G7
Ripped up my shirt and my body-o

Heart beat on through the silenced guns

To the rhythm of life inside me-o
C F G
Stand me straight against the nearest wall

Line up your bravest soldiers oh

Ten good shots I'll take them all

Fell to the ground the officer came
C G7
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
I wasn't giving up to the glory
C F G
Ten good shots I took them all
F G C
And lived to tell my story
C F G
Stand me straight against the nearest wall
C G7
Line up your bravest soldiers oh
C F G
Ten good shots I'll take them all
F G C
They call me El Fusilado
