           C              D  
If I had a pistol 
               G   
I could join a revolution 
C 
Just like Che 
 Cadd9  
Imagine me 
Am7            D          Em 
Hunkered down low in the sugarcane 
 C 
Watchin' 
 G 
Havana burnin' 

               C                
They might say listen here 
D                     G        
We got no soap and we got no beer 
   C 
We fight for the Truth 
        Cadd9 
And the Truth is clear 
        Am7            D             Em 
I say, "Who you gotta know to get a gun around here? 
C 
I wanna see 
       G 
Havana burnin'" 

                     C  
And if you'd let me join in 
 D         
Me and Che 
             G 
Would be the best of friends 
     C 
We'd wait for the day 
 Cadd9 
Someone would say, 
             Am7         D             Em 
"Put on your camouflage vest and your black beret 
     C 
And let's go watch 
       G 
Havana burnin'" 

           C              D  
If I had a pistol 
               G   
I could join a revolution 
C 
Just like Che 
 Cadd9  
Imagine me 
Am7            D          Em 
Hunkered down low in the sugarcane 
 C 
Watchin' 
 G 
Havana burnin'
