Bella Ciao Guitar Chords

Bella Ciao ("Goodbye Beautiful") is recently being so popularised by the Netflix Series Money Heist (La Casa de Papel). This song is originally an Italian protest folk song that originated in the hardships of the mondina women, the paddy field workers in the late 19th century who sang it to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North Italy. 

The song was modified and adopted as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian Resistance. Versions of "Bella ciao" are sung worldwide as an anti-fascist hymn of freedom and resistance.

Enjoy this beautiful song with super easy chords. Original italian lyrics is given here with its English transliteration below them.
