Dialing in a forgotten voice, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
B C#m F# G#m
Sweeping through illegal ports, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
B C#m F# G#m
Ships drifting out of tune, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
F# G#m F# G#m F# G#m F#
Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline, Etching the harbor and the people

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