[Intro]

[Verse]
A D E D A D E
From a run-down cathedral that stood on the edge of the city
D E C#m D E
On Sundays came a sound I will always recall
A D
It was sweet and complete
E D A D E
And it flowed through this cold-hearted city
D E A
And it sends me a heavenly shiver to think of it now
[Chorus]
D
Come hear the?voices of San Pedro's children
A
Fill the air oh-oh oh-oh
D A
Joining hands and voices for the world to share ooo
F#/A# Bm
And how the cathedral would ring
B E
When San Pedro’s children would sing you'd hear them going
A D E
La la la la La
A D E
La la la la La
[Verse 2]
A D E D A D E
"Vaya con dios, mi amigo, en las noches felices"
D E C#m D E
I could not understand, but the message I found
A D E
'Cause the heavens seemed to translate
D A D E
The words they were singing
D E A
And I know that somewhere an angel is writing it down
[Chorus 2]
D
Come hear the?voices of San Pedro's children
A
Fill the air oh-oh oh-oh
D A
Joining hands and voices for the world to share ooo

And how the cathedral would ring

Time presses on and they tore down that run-down cathedral
D E C#m D E
Never will the joy ring so clear through the town

But on Sundays if you stand very still

As the sun's coming over the hill I hear them singin
A D E
La la la la La
A D E
La la la la La

La la la la La
A D E
La la la la La andI hear them sing
