Intro x2 (first palm muted)
_________________________________________________________
Em Am G etc...
There's a piano playing on the ocean floor
between Havana and New Orleans
Drummin' a requiem for the dead
and the souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Running to the rock, running to the sea
Prayin' to the Lord please shelter me
But the ground keeps shaking,
water is boiling on fire
Blood pulsing through their veins
like the waves crashing on the Malecn wall
Clocks stopping at twelve
on the eve of a forgotten war
Luis drivin' a '59
making it half way across the Gulf
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
Dreams of reaching dry land,
talking to the fortune teller
Prisoners pounding the jail
like the waves crashing on the Malecn wall

(First, repeat a Power Em)
Someone lost an eye,
(second guitar : e|----| )
someone lost the truth
(second guitar : e|-15-| )
Trying to save face,
(second guitar : e|-18-| )
oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
(then, repeat the figure)
Shout me a line sister, shout me a line sister
Oh I see your hands in the air, see you drowning on the other side side

Intro Riff x2
"Chief's in the parish and the drummers in the square
Walkin' across the fire, walkin' across the waves"
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Running past the embassy gates,
and the Santera shrine
Blood pulsing thru their veins
like the waves they remember
Crashing on the Malecn wall
