Dal e mi soula, y me incuerdo

Did you see my family?

We had a sweet simple glory

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!
