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

Am     Dm                G                     Am
          Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am              C            Dm                  G                       Am
Dialing in a forgotten voice,    Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
Am                 C           Dm                G                     Am
Sweeping through illegal ports,   Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am             C            Dm                G                   Am
Ships drifting out of tune,    Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost
Am             G     Am                     G
  Is that your shape,    in the foam of the sea
Am                G     Am                G
  After all these years,   coming home to me?

Am  Am G  Dm   Am     Am G Dm
La  Chascona,  hearts to ocean
C     C      G    G  
Lying in the bath   fully clothed
Dm            Am     C     Dm  
Ready for the ocean's wake,    
    G           Am    C   Dm     G   Am     C    Dm G
The tears won't wash away,  her eyes can't erase

Am C G G 
Am C G G             Am C G G     Am C G G
     Not safe to say,       in her      native tongue
Am C G G
       A radio voice drowning out
Am C G G
       The general's song lingering on
Am C G G
       A raft made of books from a driftwood house
G                  Am
    Returns to the waves
