[VERSE 1]
You [G]see them in old Havana
Playing cards, smoking ci[D7]gars
[D7]And they're polishing chromium fenders
On their big old Yankee cars [G]

[VERSE 2]
[G]Manuel sits in La Casa de Rosa
Drinking rum and watching the [C]girls
He whistles at the beautiful Ma[G]ria
And she [D7]smiles and tosses her [G]curls [D7] [G] [D]

[VERSE 3]
Now the [G]bartender strums his guitar
And the rhythm plays out in the [D7]street
[D7]Maria moves with a passion
As her body sways in the [G]heat

[VERSE 4]
[G]And the old guys, smiling with pleasure
For a moment they're young and they're [C]strong
And the young girls are giving them [G]flowers
As they [D7]sing their victory [G]song

[CHORUS]
[C]Once we were bold compañeros
Running guns from the Florida [G]Keys
On the [D7]beach at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G]Ché

[G]

[VERSE 5]
[G]He talks of the great revolution
In words of sadness and [D7]pride
[D7]And the medals he wears are the scars that he bears
And he drinks for the friends who [G]died

[VERSE 6]
[G]We were farmers, we were poets and we were hungry
All we wanted was our own piece of [C]land
We were fighting for our wives and [G]children
And [D7]freedom for every [G]man

[CHORUS]
[C]Once we were bold compañeros
Running guns from the Florida [G]Keys
On the [D7]beach at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G]Ché

[G]

[VERSE 7]
[G]Now the Yankees come for the fishing
And their pockets are loaded with [D7]green
[D7]Ten dollars will buy you a woman
Or a tank of gaso[G]line

[VERSE 8]
And the [G]young kids are leaving the island
And the old guys have nothing to [C]say
Manuel is living on [G]dreams of the past
And to[D7]night he'll drink it a[G]way

[CHORUS]
[C]Once we were bold compañeros
Running guns from the Florida [G]Keys
On the [D7]beach at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G]Ché
On the [D]beach at Santiago de Cuba
We were fighting with Fidel and [G]Ché
