F  G

Am      Am/G       F    C
I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
              G    F
I heard Maria crying
Am          Am/G    F         C
Late last night I heard the news
                   G  F
That Veracruz was dying
Am--Am/C     G    F
Veracruz was dy---ing (hold) 

F  C  G  C 

Am      Am/G      F     C
Someone called Maria's name
  G               F
I swear it was my father's voice
        Am      Am/G         F           C
Saying, "If you stay, you'll all be slain
     G                   F
You must leave now, you have no choice
Am       Am/G     F            C
Take the servants and ride west
G                      F
  Keep the child close to your chest 

Am           Am/G   F              C
  When the American troops withdraw
G            F
  Let Zapata take the rest"
(Bass run F-E-D-C-A to...)

Am      Am/G     F           C
I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
              G    F
I heard Maria call-ing
 
Am   Am/C    G   F
Vera-cruz is dy--ing,
        F    G       C
And Cuerna - vaca's falling" (hold)

      F    G    C
Aquel dia  yo jure (On that day I swore)
         F      G      C
Hacia el puerto volvere, (To the port I will return)
G                    F
Aunque el destino cambio mi vida, (Even though destiny changed my life)
   Dm            G
En Veracruz morire (hold) (In Veracruz I shall die)
      F          G
Aquel dia  yo jure (On that day I swore)


Am      Am/G      F           C
I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
                    G    F
I heard them in the har-bor 
(Bass run F-E-D-C-A to...)

       Am     Am/C     G   F
Saying Vera - cruz was dy--ing
