Em                             
  There's a piano playing on the 
       Am
ocean floor

 G                              C  
  between Havana and New Orleans
Bm7


Em                          Am
  Drummin' a requiem for the dead

 G                              
  and the souls hanging on every 
 C            Bm7
poet's prayer

Am                G   Bm7       
  Running to the rock, running 
      Em
to the sea

Am                G     Bm7     
  Prayin' to the Lord please 
     Em
shelter me

 Am       G      Bm7        Em
  But the ground keeps shaking,

    Am     G          Bm7   Em
  water is boiling on fire


Continues after the ad
Remove ads
  Am        G                 Bm7
  Blood pulsing through their 
    Em
veins

           Am    G               
  like the waves crashing on the 
Bm7     Em
Malecón wall



Clocks stopping at twelve
on the eve of a forgotten war
Luis drivin' a '59
making it half way across the Gulf

Stranded on the rock, stranded on 
the sea
There's a wall in the ocean between 
you and me

Dreams of reaching dry land,
talking to the fortune teller
Prisoners pounding the jail
like the waves crashing on the 
Malecón wall

"Chief's in the parish and the

drummers in the square

Em

in the sea

Am                   G     Bm7  
  There's a sunken bridge 'tween

 you and me

Am               G             
Running past the embassy gates,
Bm7   Em


Am          G        Bm7     Em
  and the Santería shrine

Am       G               Bm7     Em
  Blood pulsing thru their veins

         Am    G       Bm7
like the waves they remember
