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
 Who has no voice,
   G
No rights, no hope,
F                     E
 No place to call his own.
        Am        Am/G
And the skeletons,
   F      E       Am
Of Quinto call me home.

Bridge 1:

Dm
 The silver tentacles,
Of the moon's rays,
Am
 Haunt me,
Dm
 The deathly silence,
Of the mountains,
E
 Chills me to the bone.
        Am        Am/G
And the skeletons,
   F      E       Am
Of Quinto call me home.

Verse 2:

Am                  Am/G
 If I lived to be a hundred,
        F              E
I won't know me Papa's plight.
Am                  Am/G
 The cruelty of the master's whip,
F                   E
 The horrors of the night.

Chorus 2:

C
 He braved them all,
    G
And stood his ground,
F                 E
 The bravest ever known.
        Am        Am/G
And the skeletons,
   F      E       Am
Of Quinto call me home.

Bridge 2: (Instrumental)

Dm  Am  Dm  E
Am  Am/G  F  E
Am  Am/G  F  E
C  G  F  E
Am  Am/G  F  E  Am 

(Spanish):

Un Oceano de verguenza,
Incita nuestros recuerdos,
Las estranguladas,
Pesadillas de muerte.
Me estremecen hasta los huesos,
Y los esqueleetos de Quinto,
Me llaman a mi morada.

Verse 3:

Am
 I know that somehow,
Am/G
 In the world,
F                    E
 The workers must be free.
Am                      Am/G
 The toil and sweat and tyranny,
F                     E
 The fascist jeu d'es-prit.

Chorus 3:

C
 Will only serve,
   G
To keep us down,
    F                E
And aid the bourgeoi-sie.
        Am        Am/G
And the skeletons,
   F      E       Am
Of Quinto call me home.
