Biography:
Desaparecidos is an American punk rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. It is headed by singer/guitarist Conor Oberst, the frontman of Bright Eyes. "Desaparecidos" means "disappeared ones" in Spanish and is a reference to the left-wing activists arrested by South American military dictatorships who vanished without a trace.
Desaparecidos initially broke up in 2002 after releasing their first album, Read Music/Speak Spanish, as well as touring with Jimmy Eat World and The Promise Ring.

(E gn - denotes Denver's delayed riff; as a holding measure you can play an E as a grace note;
n.b. the delayed riff is E - 0 B - 5 - so 2 E's with a weird stutter pattern).
Intro:
C // ( E grace-note) C // ( E gn) Am Em - F
C /// ( E gn) C /// ( E gn) Am Em - F
All the founding fathers - sowed their seeds into servant girls
All the godless heathens - had to leave to make a newer world
G G F Am – G G F
So we could live together in America - Justice is blind and so is love
C // ( E gn) C // ( E gn) Am Em – F [x 2]
Uh-oh Uh-oh - Uh-oh Uh-oh
C /// ( E gn) C /// ( E gn) Am Em - F
All the stolen melodies - they played in the hit parade
All the borrowed spirituals - they feigned in the salad days
G G F Am – G G F
So we could sing together in America - The price of an anthem paid in blood
C G F
Bodies stacked like hundred dollar bills - (Carved names into a wall)
To build that shining city on the hill - (Forgot them all)
G F G C
There’s no guilt, regret or shame - It just had to be this way
C // ( E gn) C // ( E gn) Am Em – F [x 2]
Uh-oh Uh-oh - Uh-oh Uh-oh
C /// ( E gn) C /// ( E gn) Am Em - F
If you scheme and hustle just don’t get caught, - you've got to risk it all
Or hang on every number - they read off for the Powerball
G G F Am – G G F
We’ll all get rich together in America - Money is indifferent and so is love
C G F
Trash bags full of hundred dollar bills - (Put statues on the mall)
We left that bombed-out city on the hill - (Forgave them all)
G F G C
Have to relocate the past - Because we are never going back
Solo:
C – G – F x 2 G – F – G – C
C // ( E gn) C // ( E gn) Am Em – F [x 2]
Uh-oh Uh-oh
Peace Out
