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