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!

[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!

[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 --

[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!
