VERSE

           B         E
Dal e mi soula, y me incuerdo
B              E
Did you see my family?
B              E
We had a sweet simple glory
         B    A   E
We had a gallant who works for me

PAUSE

CHORUS

A    E
For I was once an immortal
             B     A  E
With General Walker's gringo army
A      E
Yeah, I was once an immortal
             B     A  E
With William Walker's gringo army

Must be seven years that I followed him
All across the southern sea
And I never thought I'd hear the hammer
Beating on the iron of slavery

For I was once an immortal
With General Walker's gringo army
Yeah, I was once an immortal
With William Walker's gringo army

Yeah, I hear the horrors go to the barricade
You're going hungry without any guns
So senorita for the last time now
Share some love with the unknown one

For I was once an immortal
With General Walker's gringo army
Yeah, I was once an immortal
With William Walker's gringo army

Yeah, I thinkin' on immortal
In William Walker's gringo army


Repeat chords throughout each verse and chorus as depicted and listen to the song to pause where necessary. 

Have fun, immortals!
