[Primera Parte]

Am              G       Am        
We see a mother with no child
Am                 G            Dm
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
                     Am       F
How`s the heart while it still beats?
G
Asks a no-one
Em
Another John Doe

Am                G      Am
Sorrow hides well in your shell
Am                G
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dm
Dear one
             Am        F
Here I am to share the fear
          G
An act of kindness
           Em
Without an amen

[Estribillo]

          Am
How`s the heart
               Em
Underneath the silence?
          F
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       F              C
Let us sound a human paean
     G
Come in, the fire`s warm
         C                   G
Burn the rope and dance some more

Am                     G          Am
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Am              G             Dm
Shared a story, took the leap
                Am    F
Rose up rooted, hid a note
    G
You know where
       Em
You`ve been there

Am                  G         Am
Now there`s one who came from me
Am                G
A child of light, another tale
Dm
Dear one
                    Am      F
Night will come but not to stay
G
Why?
Em
The answer`s in the

[Estribillo]

          Am
How`s the heart
               Em
Underneath the silence?
          F
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       F              C
Let us sound a human paean
     G
Come in, the fire`s warm
         C                   G
Burn the rope and dance some more
