VICTOR JARA OF CHILE
G D
LIVED LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
G D
HE FOUGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHILE
Em G
WITH HIS SONGS AND HIS GUITAR
Bm A G D
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
VICTOR JARA WAS A PEASANT
HE WORKED FROM A FEW YEARS OLD
HE SAT UPON HIS FATHER'S PLOW
AND WATCHED THE EARTH UNFOLD
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
NOW WHEN THE NEIGHBORS HAD A WEDDING
OR ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN DIED
HIS MOTHER SANG ALL NIGHT FOR THEM
WITH VICTOR BY HER SIDE
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
HE GREW UP TO BE A FIGHTER
AGAINST THE PEOPLE'S WRONGS
HE LISTENED TO THEIR GRIEF AND JOY
AND TURNED THEM INTO SONGS
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
HE SANG ABOUT THE COPPER MINERS
AND THOSE WHO WORKED THE LAND
HE SANG ABOUT THE FACTORY WORKERS
AND THEY KNEW HE WAS THEIR MAN
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
HE CAMPAIGNED FOR ALLENDE
WORKING NIGHT AND DAY
HE SANG TAKE HOLD OF YOUR BROTHERS HAND
YOU KNOW THE FUTURE BEGINS TODAY
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
THEN THE GENERALS SEIZED CHILE
THEY ARRESTED VICTOR THEN
THEY CAGED HIM IN A STADIUM
WITH FIVE-THOUSAND FRIGHTENED MEN
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
VICTOR STOOD IN THE STADIUM
HIS VOICE WAS BRAVE AND STRONG
AND HE SANG FOR HIS FELLOW PRISONERS
TILL THE GUARDS CUT SHORT HIS SONG
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
THEY BROKE THE BONES IN BOTH HIS HANDS
THEY BEAT HIM ON THE HEAD
THEY TORE HIM WITH ELECTRIC SHOCKS
AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM DEAD
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE HIS HANDS WERE STRONG
