Inspired by Mayan activist Leydy Pech who gathered lawyers, students, farmers and got the poisonous genetically-modifying agricultural concern Monsanto kicked out of Mexico.

lyrics

INTRO
A A Bb Bb A A Bb Bb

C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
In the fertile lands of Campeche Mexico
C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - A Mayan woman named Leydy Pech trans-FORMED into the Queen
Bbm - - Bbm - -
of Beekeepers, de-FY-ing the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To zone and to clone a moaning monoculture
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land


Dm Dm
Power to the pollinators!
C C
Mother Father Earth Cre-A-tors
Bb Bb
Leydy Pech oh please
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Let us love the bees ---------





C7 - - C7- - C7- - Fm
She gathered la gente, the lawyers, the farmers,
C7 - - C7- - C7- - Fm - -
the wise Mayan elders and the beekeepers daughters
Bbm Bbm - -
Her love for life and de-FEND-ing the land
Bbm C7 - -
Fueled the fight and powered the witness stands
Bbm F#m C7 F
With the forces of nature coursing through their hands
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land



Dm Dm
Pollinate the revol-U-tion! (bzz bzz)
C C
Fertile thoughts to grow sol-U-tions
Bb Bb
The bee connection, honey’d hands
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Sus-TAIN our cultures and the lands --------------------











C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
Many brave SOULS quelled Mon-SANT-o’s mo-NO-poly, supplanting
C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
Mono with many, and poison with plenty
Bbm - - Bbm - - Bbm - - C7 - -
Now they’re feeding the forests, the fields are filled with local seed,
Bbm - - F# - - C7 - - F - -
And those beloved bees fly all around as they please
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land


Dm Dm
Power to the pollinators!
C C
Mother Father Earth Cre-A-tors
Bb Bb
Leydy Pech oh please
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Let us love the bees ----- love the bees------- love the bees -----
