A#m C# D#m G# A#m
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
C# D#m G# A#m
Sweeping through illegal ports, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
C# D#m G# A#m
Ships drifting out of tune, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
G# A#m G# A#m G# A#m G#
Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline, Etching the harbor and the people
G# A#m
stayed afloat
A#m D#m G# A#m
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
A#m C# D#m G# A#m
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
A#m C# D#m G# A#m
Sweeping through illegal ports, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
A#m C# D#m G# A#m
Ships drifting out of tune, Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost
A#m G# A#m G#
Is that your shape, in the foam of the sea
A#m G# A#m G#
After all these years, coming home to me?
A#m A#m G# D#m A#m A#m G# D#m
La Chascona, hearts to ocean
C# C# G# G#
Lying in the bath fully clothed
D#m A#m C# D#m
Ready for the ocean's wake,
G# A#m C# D#m G# A#m C# D#m G#
The tears won't wash away, her eyes can't erase
A#m C# G# G#
A#m C# G# G# A#m C# G# G# A#m C# G# G#
Not safe to say, in her native tongue
A#m C# G# G#
A# radio voice drowning out
A#m C# G# G#
The general's song lingering on
A#m C# G# G#
A# raft made of books from a driftwood house
G# A#m
Returns to the waves
