F# C#
[Verse 1]
F#
The nights grow cold
Bbm F#
My search for gold is leading nowhere
Bbm
Whichever lonely road I take
F#
It seems to go nowhere
E F#
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
C#
How can I display what I know I'm worthy of
F#
When they turn me away
[Chorus 1]
Bbm
The doors are closed to such as I
F#
A boy from nowhere
Bbm F#
But not to those who merely buy the right to go where
E F#
They'll be met with respect, not humiliation
C#
A man's place on earth
F#
I have come to realize is decided by birth
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So what's the future
C#
No matter where I go
F# E A
I will still belong in Andalusia
E
Where we don't know where
A
The next penny's coming from
C#
Something's wrong
[Chorus 2]
F# C#
I'm bound to Spain, I won't remain
F#
A boy from nowhere
C#
There has to be a place for me
F#
And I must go there
A E C# F#
I don't fantasize, unlike a million others
G# F#
Who must bow and scrape
B C#
For my one means of escape
F#
Is to flourish a cape
[Verse 2]
F#
I'll fight all odds
C# F#
And fight the Gods if they oppose me
C#
I have to win, I won't give in
F# A E
No one who knows me would expect me to fail
C# F#
For the want of trying
G# F#
Not a man alive
B C#
Had to beg or steal or fight
F#
More than me to survive
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C# F#
So what's the future
B
No matter where I go
C# F# E A
I will still belong in Andalusia
D
Where good, honest men grow weak
E A
And the rich grow strong
C# C#7
Something's wrong
[Chorus 3]
F# C#
Another dawn, another boy
F#
A boy from nowhere
C#
My destiny will guarantee
F#
And I must go there
E G#m F#
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
B F# B
One more mouth to feed
C# F#
And the way things are 'round here
C# F#
That's the last thing they need
