Capo: 2

Here's my take on Phil Ochs' "Ballad of William Worthy." I'm not sure if it's entirely correct, so any feedback/rating would be appreciated... Capo: 2nd fret

Well, it's ^Cof a bold reporter whose ^Gstory I will ^Ctell ^C7 He ^Fwent down to the Cuban land, the ^Cnearest place to ^C7hell He'd ^Fbeen there many times before, but ^Cnow the law does ^Amsay The ^Conly way to Cuba is ^G7with the CI^CA ^C7

Chorus:

William ^FWorthy isn't worthy to ^Center our door ^GWent down to Cuba, he's not ^CAmerican any^C7more But ^Fsomehow it is strange to hear the ^CState Department ^Amsay You are ^Cliving in the free world, in the ^G7free world you must ^Cstay

Five thousand dollars or a five year sentence may well be For a man who had the nerve to think that travelin' is free Oh why'd he waste his time to see a dictator's reign When he could have seen democracy by travelin' on to Spain? Chorus So come all you good travelers and fellow-travelers, too Yes and travel all around the world, see every country through I'd surely like to come along and see what may be new But my passport's disappearing as I sing these words to you Well, there really is no need to travel to these evil lands Yes, and though the list grows larger you must try to understand Try hard not to be surprised if someday you should hear The whole world is off limits, visit Disneyland this year Chorus
