[intro]
E

E                  Aadd9
Down in Guantanamo
                          E
We still got the ball and chain
                   Aadd9
Down in Guantanamo
                        E
We still got the ball and chain
     Bm                    Aadd9
That pretty piece of Cuba
                  E
Designed to cause men pain
               Bm                Aadd9
Whoa, when you light up in Cuba
                           
You won't feel the same again

[Interlude]
G(add9)        A7    x2 
E
[repeat]
Down in Guantanamo
Still waiting for the big cigars
Down in Guantanamo
Still waiting for the big cigars
Been a breach of promise
Still guilty with no charge
There's a smoke in the forest
And the tumour is getting large

[Interlude]
A5     E   
Gadd9/E  A7  E
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo
We still got the ball and chain
There's a long road to travel
For justice to make its claim
So let's bring down the gavel
Let the prisoner say his name

[Break]
Aadd9

Hmm, still waiting for the big cigars
     G/A                  
Still waiting
                           A5
Still waiting for the big cigars
G/A
                                 A5
Hey, still waiting for the big cigars
