[Verse 1]
C Em F C
They came in wide boats many years ago,
F G C C
they gave you presents and promised you a lot.
C Em F C
But they lock you on a chain, put you in a mine,
F Em G C C
and a said: "work for the glory of our GOD".
[Chorus]
F C G C
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
F C G C
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
F C G C
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
F C G C C
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.

[Verse 2]
C Em F C
They said you're just an indian, not better than a beast,
F G C C
only good for working like a slave.
C Em F C
And so you're sweat and run 'til the day is done,
F Em G C C
while you know you WOULD be better in your grave.
[Chorus]
F C G C
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
F C G C
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
F C G C
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
F C G C
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.
[End-Chorus]
F C G C
Fly away, little Paraguayo, spread your wings out to the sky,
F C G C
fly away, little Paraguayo, 'cause the white man's on the ride.
F C G C
And your body is so hungry and your mind is filled with fear,
F C G C C
fly away, little Paraguayo 'cause the soldiers soon be here.
