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