  			Intro: Am7   G  (Play Four Times) 

Verse: 

Am7                       G 
The last of some bad debris 
Dm                           C 
Falls through the coconut trees 
G                C     
Twilight claims me 
F9           G 
Inching calmly  
Am7                     G 
Through restaurant radios 
Dm            C  
Came a calypso  
G              C 
Stood with elongo 
F9            G  
Inside a shadow 

 

C            G 
Elongo, Elongo 
Dm           F   G       
from here to san pedro 
              C       F9     G 
we draw lines in the sand 
C                     G 
Elongo, how long though 
Dm            F       G       
Until we will get back home  
           C       F9       G 
The sun is setting low 


Am7   G  (Play Four Times) 


Verse 2: 

Am7                       G 
Will youth come and go 
Dm                           C 
Singing the songs they know 
G                C 
Like Mother Teresa  
F9                 G 
A vicious Siddhartha 
Am7                       G 
And you fly paper planes  
Dm                           C 
A cow wake is where they lay  
G                C 
the roots of your family  
F9                      G 
The guns of your history                                        

 

C            G 
Elongo, Elongo 
Dm           F   G       
from here to san pedro 
              C       F9     G 
we draw lines in the sand 
C                     G 
Elongo, how long though 
Dm            F       G       
Until we will get back home  
           C       F9       
The sun is setting low 

Bridge: 

Dm    C       G 
Is it sailing away  
Dm      C          G 
Or am I waiting in vain  
Dm     C             G 
Do you break all your chains  
Dm         C       G 
For it to all wash away 

 

C            G 
Elongo, Elongo 
Dm           F   G       
from here to san pedro 
              C       F9     G 
we draw lines in the sand 
C                     G 
Elongo, how long though 
Dm            F       G       
Until we will get back home  
           C       F9       G 
The sun is setting low
