[G] The wind from [A] Havana is [D] heavy with scents and [G] warm music
I think of how we have it back [D] home
On [D] the bus ride from Cojima to the city, [A] you sit like at a party
They say you're an immigrant, but [A] you're like a guest of honor
[G] We talk to each other and look each [D] other in the eye
[G] I think of how we [A] have it [D] back home
In the springs down by the sea, the waves don't stay still
The girl from Havana has worn her doctor's mask
She [G]
was almost [A] 100,000 a time, [D] now she's 50
[G] I think of how [A] we have it [D] back home
I [G] don't see any [A] jews living or [D] any furs in [G] the city
I don't see any [A] executed or [D]
saved either
I don't see any [A] workers [D]
or a home
[G] I think of how [A] we have it [D]
back home
I walk up to the public park [A] and see all the nice houses
I [D] lived once in a rich house, now a poor house and a house
[G] Today in the palace, [A] the hospital and the day [D] care and the schools
I [G] think of how [A] we have it [D] back home

[D] I stand before the idea of socialism, [A] which united the people of Cuba
To [G]
travel to [A] the port, to the port [D]
and out to [G] the sea
I think of how we [A] have it [D] back home
And in the bar in [A] Cochima, no [D] one is left in [G] solitude
Old and young [A] are mixed, tears [D] are shed
[E] The [G]
only thing that [A] shines is [D] the community of the [G] Negroes
And the Antanas [A] while they fight [D] in the night
The sun in the Caribbean [A] falls deep over land and [A] sea
The [D] stars above are like diamonds [A] in thousands
When
[G] you're in the crown [A] of the head, a [D] heavy cup over your head
[G] I think of how [A]
we have [D] it back home
[G] I think of how we have it [D] back home
