From over the pole
F               C     E7
Flying in a big airliner
Am                          D7
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
F                       C     E7
Could we ever feel much finer?

CHORUS:

VICTOR JARA OF CHILE
G                     D
LIVED LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
   G                        D
HE FOUGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHILE
         Em               G
WITH HIS SONGS AND HIS GUITAR
    Bm         A           G          D
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

VICTOR JARA WAS A PEASANT
HE WORKED FROM A FEW YEARS OLD
HE SAT UPON HIS FATHER'S PLOW
AND WATCHED THE EARTH UNFOLD
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

NOW WHEN THE NEIGHBORS HAD A WEDDING
OR ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN DIED
HIS MOTHER SANG ALL NIGHT FOR THEM
WITH VICTOR BY HER SIDE
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

HE GREW UP TO BE A FIGHTER
AGAINST THE PEOPLE'S WRONGS
HE LISTENED TO THEIR GRIEF AND JOY
AND TURNED THEM INTO SONGS
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

HE SANG ABOUT THE COPPER MINERS
AND THOSE WHO WORKED THE LAND
HE SANG ABOUT THE FACTORY WORKERS
AND THEY KNEW HE WAS THEIR MAN
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

HE CAMPAIGNED FOR ALLENDE
WORKING NIGHT AND DAY
HE SANG "TAKE HOLD OF YOUR BROTHERS HAND
YOU KNOW THE FUTURE BEGINS TODAY"
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

THEN THE GENERALS SEIZED CHILE
THEY ARRESTED VICTOR THEN
THEY CAGED HIM IN A STADIUM
WITH FIVE-THOUSAND FRIGHTENED MEN
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

VICTOR STOOD IN THE STADIUM
HIS VOICE WAS BRAVE AND STRONG
AND HE SANG FOR HIS FELLOW PRISONERS
TILL THE GUARDS CUT SHORT HIS SONG
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

THEY BROKE THE BONES IN BOTH HIS HANDS
THEY BEAT HIM ON THE HEAD
THEY TORE HIM WITH ELECTRIC SHOCKS
AND THEN THEY SHOT HIM DEAD
HIS HANDS WERE GENTLE, HIS HANDS WERE STRONG

Coming In To Los Angeles

A                     F#m
It's the tenth of January
      D                  F#m
And I still ain't had no sleep
D          D
She comes waItzing in the nighttime
        E
Made of wings
A                        F#m
She is dressed up like a bandit
       D                F#m
With a hundred sparkling rings
D        D                 E
Looking for my company to keep
D
Coming closer to me
     E             A
She doesn't say a word
       D                         E
In the shadow of the carved rock tower
A                       F#m
Where the sounds of the night
D                       F#m
Were the only things we heard
D     E       A
In my darkest hour


She don't want to hear no secrets
She would guarantee me that
She knows there ain't no words
That can describe her
With her white silk scarves
And her black Spanish hat
She knows there ain't no way I can deny her
Yes her blue velvet perfume
Filling up the night
The guards are all asleep
That watch the tower
The moon light held her breast
As she easily undressed
In my darkest hour

Her father's in his chambers with his
Friends all gathered 'round
They are plotting their enemy's demise
With their last detail done
They await the coming sun
While I am staring in my lover's eyes
Her brothers and her sisters
Are all through for tonight
Pretending that they've just
Come into power
But she far most of all, knows that they
Can only fall
In my darkest hour

Hungry wings; their melodies
While my love awakens me
In the midst of the sunburst first light
Her hands are holding up the skies
As I hid my opened eyes
Every move just for herself
And that's so right
Soon I went along my way
With no words that could explain
As she began descending to the tower
Her safety now concerns me
Her circumstance to blame
In my darkest hour

 Poor Adam alone in Eden
        G       F
 Taking off his shoes
C         G        F         C
 Tired of running around all morning
Dm                   G
 From his animal interviews
F    C           Dm         C
 He awoke with a hand on his brow

 Asking who are you
Am             Em           F       C
 They spent the rest of their lives together
Dm             G
 Making their debuts
F           Em        Dm     C 
 Dressed in leaves and wearing blues

Some say one thing, some say two
Ain't much about it anyone can do
Keep on walking till my soles wear through
Wearing away my shoes
Evening comes and the sky turns red
Clouds of colors cover up our heads
Ain't it something just to lie here in bed
Just me and you

Oh Mary, wrapped up in glory
What are you going to tell your groom
How's he going to feel on the day of your wedding
What will your friends assume
Oh, but Joseph and Mary were married
The angels carried the news
What the Lord has joined together
The world must not undo

There's a wedding down at the church this morning
Let's uo wish them well
It's a beautiful day for getting married
I hope the weather lasts as well
It's been years since we've been married
I know we paid some dues
Now ain't it something just to lie here together
Just me and you

                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,

Look for you on Marley Lane

In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
