The fishing boats go out across the evening water
[D] Smuggling guns and knives across the Spanish border _
[Bm] The wind whips up the waves so loud
[A] The ghost in the [G] sails among the [F#m] clouds
Turns the [E] rifles into [F#m] silver on the border
All _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the colors of the maps are running
[D] From Africa the winds they talk of change is coming
_ [Bm] Torches flare up in the [A] night
The hun that [G] sets the farms [F#m] alight
Has spread the [E] word to those [F#m] awaiting on the border
_ [D] _ _
[F#m] In [A] the village where I [Em] grew up nothing seems the same
Still you [D] never see the change from [A] day to day
[D] No one notices the [C#] customs slip away

_ _ _ _ _ Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
[D] I moved across the darkened room and in the light glow
[Bm] I thought I'd put down in the [A] street the spirit [G] of the [F#m] century
Telling [E] us that we're all [F#m] standing on the border _ _ _ _
_ [A] In the islands where I [Em] grew up nothing seems the same
It's [D] just the patterns that remain an [A] empty shell _
[D] There's a strangeness in the air you feel [C#] too well
_ _ [A] _ [C#m] The [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ fishing boats go out across the evening water
[D] Smuggling guns and knives across the Spanish border
_ [Bm] The wind whips up the waves so loud
[A] The ghost in the [G] sails among the [F#m] clouds
Comes the white [E] voice and it's over [F#m] on the border _ _ _ _ _
[D] On the border
_ On _ _ [F#m] the border
_ _ On _ [D] the border _ _ _ _ _
