Jefferson Airplane - Mexico

the spacing when i pasted this is off so the chord changes aren’t by the words exactly .
i may fix it one day when i have time . i figured this out as i couldn’t find any music
for it myself . sound’s pretty close to me . small part at the end missing . enjoy . i found
the lyrics on some lyrics site .

D D ( v ) Bm A x3
D D ( v ) Bm A
owsley and charlie , twins of the trade ,
G A
come to the poet’s room
D D ( v ) Bm A
talking about the problems of a leaf ,
G A

and yes , it’ll be back soon

Bm D A
there used to be tons of gold and green
C#m F#
comin’ up here from mexico
G F# G
a donde esta la planta , mi amigo , del sol?

A G
but mexico is under the thumb
D
of a man we call richard
A F#
and he’s come to call himself king
G
but he’s a small – headed man
A G
and he doesn’t know a thing
D
about how to deal for you
Bm
how to deal for you

E
there are millions of you now
D
i mean it’s not as if you were alone
E
there are brothers everywhere
D
just waiting for a toke on that gold
E E E E
and god knows how far it can go
C
you’re famous uncle charlie
A
for your mexican smoke
C
you’re a legend owsley
A
for your righteous dope

D G
there were a half a million people on the lawn
D G
and we sang to their faces in the dawn
Am G
how long will that young race
Am G E
wait for the jailer’s time to end?
Am G
how long will the panther race
Am G
wait for the iron bars to bend?
E
and no no no no no nobody waits
