[Bm] [A]
[G] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[D]
winds that talk of change is coming.
[Bm]
Torches flare up in the night, [A] the hot that sets [G] the
bombs alight [F#m] to squint the words [E] of those who are waiting [F#m] on the border.
[A] In the village where I grew
[Em] up nothing seems the same, [D] you never see the change from [A] day to day, no [D] one notices the customs [C#] slip away.
[F#m]
Last night the rain was coming out my window, [D] I looked across the darkened room and it was lamp glow.
[Bm] But I saw down in the street [A] the spurt of [G] the century, [F#m] telling us [A] we're all standing on [F#m] the border.
[A] At the islands where I grew [Em] up nothing seems the same, [D] the patterns just remain, an [A] empty shell.
The [D] strange knots in the air get me [C#] out too well.
[A] [F#m]
The fishing boats go out across the evening port,
[D] my bling guns and arms across the Spanish border.
[Bm] The wind whips up the waves so loud, [A] it goes through
the [G] sails among the [F#m] clouds, so the [E] whiteboard's set to sail [F#m] on the border.
[D] On the border.
[F#m] On the border.
[D] On the border.
