Mal Sacate

written by Kris Kristofferson

from the album "Third World Warrior"

tabbed 6/19/05

A little out-dated, but what the hey...

CAPO I

INTRO: E

E B7

Mister Moneyman I know you've had your way, and I know the way you're winnin'

E

And that bloody hand you're holdin' ain't no bargain at the price you had to pay

B7

You have stolen all the land that you can steal, and you killed so many heroes

E

But the dreams they left behind them ain't as easy as a man to blow away

CHORUS:

E B7

And they say "El mal sacate, ni el fuego lo quema"

E

And los Mexicanos dicen "cosa mala nunca muere" don't ya know

B7

Said the fire don't burn a bad weed boy, and a bad thing never dies

E

Like the bad weeds growin' wild around the broken wounded body of El Salvador

E B7

(Spoken)

B7 E

They killed so many heroes, like Zapata (presente!) and Fonseca (presente!)

and Sandino (presente!) and Guevarra (presente!) and Allende (presente!)

B7

and Aquino (presente!) and Steve Biko (presente!) but they can never kill the human spirit

E

not in Nicaragua

CHORUS

E B7

Aye-aye-aye Nicaragua

E

Aye-aye-aye Sandinista

(fades into next song ("Sandinista"), so you might want to repeat "Nicaragua" instead)
