Santiago

D From the ports of the west G We sailed into the sun, D South America Bound, G The journey begun, A Bm G D Lights coming on in the barrios, G A Half the world away, D A Bm G Oceans to cross, and course to steer, A All the way. D We bought copper and ore, G Silver and gold, D From the mines and fields, G The sweat of a people was sold, A Bm G D Lights going out in the barrios D G A A long days labour at an end, D Bm G They saw the wealth of the mountains, A Flow all the way G to Santiago, D G All the way to Santiago, D G All the way to Santiago, D G All the way to Santiago, A Bm All the way D And when the country was torn, G We chose sides, D Selling arms to the few G Who would hold back the tide, A Bm G D Fires burned in the barrios G Bm Em We poured oil upon the flames, D A Bm G Selling bullets, bombs, guns and planes A All the way. D From the hearts of the west, G They’ll fly back to the sun, D South America bound, G The story is done, A Bm G D There’ll be laughter and songs in the barrios G Bm A To echo half the world away, D A G When Maria y Juan y Julio, D A G Felipe, Pedro y Mario, D A G Isabella, y Manuel y Mauricio, A Vengamos a la casa, G A Santiago.
