[VERSE 1]
You [G] seex them in old Havana
Playing cards, smoking ci[D7]garsx
[D7]Andx they're polishing chromium fenders
On their big old Yankee cars [G] xxx

[VERSE 2]
[G]Manuelx sits in La Casa de Rosa

As her body sways in the [G] heatx

[VERSE 4]
[G]Andx the old guys, smiling with pleasure
For a moment they're young and they're [C] strongx

In words of sadness and [D7] pridex
[D7] Andx the medals he wears are the scars that he bears
And he drinks for the friends who [G] diedx

[VERSE 6]
[G]Wex were farmers, we were poets and we were hungry
All we wanted was our own piece of [C] landx
We were fighting for our wives and [G] childrenx
And [D7] freedomx for every [G] manx

Running guns from the Florida [G] Keysx

[G]Nowx the Yankees come for the fishing
And their pockets are loaded with [D7] greenx
[D7] Tenx dollars will buy you a woman
Or a tank of gaso[G]linex

[VERSE 8]
And the [G] youngx kids are leaving the island
And the old guys have nothing to [C] sayx
Manuel is living on [G] dreamsx of the past
And to[D7]nightx he'll drink it a[G]wayx

[CHORUS]
[C]Oncex we were bold compañeros
Running guns from the Florida [G] Keysx
On the [D7] beachx at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G] Chéx
On the [D] beachx at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G] Chéx
