G C
[Verse 1]
C G
in the Morelos Mountains campesinos are planting their fields
G C
Where the ghost of Zapata rides a horse that can still outrun the wheel
C C7 F Dm
High in the sky above, and clear out of sight
G C
It's the Free Mexican Air Force flyin' tonight
C G
In the City of Angels, a cowboy is cooling his heels
G C
Remembering that God gave us herbs and the fruits of the fields
C C7 F Dm
But a criminal law that makes outlaws of those seeking light
G G
Made the Free Mexican Air Force -- Mescalito riding his white horse --
G C
Yeah, the Free Mexican Air Force is flyin' tonight!
G D7 G G7
Flying so high - yi - hiyeeeee! ...
[Solo]
C G G C C C7 F Dm G C
[Verse 2]
C G
How strange that an innocent herb causes money to burn
G C
They'll jail you or kill you for making those rich fat cats squirm
C C7 F Dm
They're the fools who make rules with no difference between wrong or right
G C
That's why the Free Mexican Air Force is flyin' tonight
C G
Uncle Sam in his misery put a nix on the fields of Guerrero
G C
Sayin', "Shoot down all gringos and wetbacks who dare wear sombreros!"
C C7 F Dm
Either run for your life, surrender, or stand up and fight --
G G
Or join the Free Mexican Air Force -- Mescalito riding his white horse --
G C
Yeah, the Free Mexican Air Force is flying tonight!
G D7 G G7
Flying so high - yi - hiyeeeee! ...
[Instrumental]
C G G C C C7 F Dm G C
[Verse 3]
C G
It is not marijuana destroying the minds of the young
G G7 C
But confusion continued for power and greed in all forms
C7 F Dm
Well, the borders of evil will fall to the smugglers of light!
G C
We're the Free Mexican Air Force and we're flyin' tonight!
C G
In San Antonio, they tell me that power and money are one
G G7 C
They can buy us or sell you to keep you afraid, on the run
7 F Dm
But no one can stop us! My vision is clearly in sight!
G G
And the Free Mexican Air Force -- Mescalito riding his white horse --
G C
Yeah, the Free Mexican Air Force is flyin' tonight!
G D7 G G7
Flying so high - yi - hiyeeeee! ...
[Verse 4]
C G
We were smoking colitas while other were loading their guns
G G7 C
Blowing smoke from their six-shooters, spinning their barrels for fun
C7 F Dm
Contrabandistas, --- banditos alike ----
G C
We're the Free Mexican Air Force and we're flyin' tonight!
C G
High in the hills we are harvesting sweet sensimillia
G G7 C
Yeah, the law wants it all 'cause they know that the wild weed can free ya
C7 F Dm
And freedom for us is a prison for the rulers of might!
G G
That's why the Free Mexican Air Force -- Mescalito riding his white horse --
G C
Yeah, the Free Texican Air Force is flyin' tonight!
G D7 G G7 C
Flyin' so high- yi- yee... Flyin' tonight!
