Phil Ochs - Ballad Of William Worthy

here’s my take on phil ochs’ “ballad of william worthy . ”
i’m not sure if it’s entirely correct , so any feedback/rating would be appreciated . . .

capo : 2nd fret

C G C C7
well , it’s of a bold reporter whose story i will tell
F C C7
he went down to the cuban land , the nearest place to hell
F C Am
he’d been there many times before , but now the law does say
C G7 C C7
the only way to cuba is with the cia

chorus :
F C
william worthy isn’t worthy to enter our door
G C C7
went down to cuba , he’s not american anymore
F C Am
but somehow it is strange to hear the state department say
C G7 C
you are living in the free world , in the free world you must stay

five thousand dollars or a five year sentence may well be
for a man who had the nerve to think that travelin’ is free
oh why’d he waste his time to see a dictator’s reign
when he could have seen democracy by travelin’ on to spain?

chorus

so come all you good travelers and fellow – travelers , too
yes and travel all around the world , see every country through
i’d surely like to come along and see what may be new
but my passport’s disappearing as i sing these words to you

well , there really is no need to travel to these evil lands
yes , and though the list grows larger you must try to understand
try hard not to be surprised if someday you should hear
the whole world is off limits , visit disneyland this year
