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 E
The deathly silence of the mountains, chill 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 F E
The cruelty of the master's whip, 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:
Dm Am
Un Oceano de verguenza incita nuestros recuerdos,
Las estranguladas, lesadillas de muerte.
Dm
Me estremecen hasta los huesos,
E
Y los esqueleetos de Quinto, me llaman a mi morada.
Interlude:
Am Am/G F E (x2)
C G F E, Am Am/G F E Am
Verse 3:
Am Am/G F E
I know that somehow, in this world, the workers must be free.
Am Am/G F E
The toil and sweat and tyranny, the fascist jeu d'es-prit.
Chorus 3:
C G F E
Will only serve to keep us down; and aid the bourgeoi-sie.
Am Am/G F E Am
And the skeletons, of Quinto, call me home.
