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