The fishing boats go out across the evening water
DSmuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
BmThe winds whip up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
F#m E F#mAnd turns the rifles into silver on the border
F#m
On my wall the colours of the maps are running
DFrom Africa the winds they talk of changes coming
The torches flair up in the night
A GThe hand that sets the farms alight
F#m E F#mHas spread the word to those who're waiting on the border
A
In the vllage where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
D ABut still you never see the change from day to day
D C# C# B A G#m F#m E F#mAnd no one notices the customs slip away
F#m
Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
BmI thought I saw down in the street
A GThe spirit of the century
Telling us that we're all standing on the border
In the islands where I grew up
EmNothing seems the same
D AIt's just the patterns that remain an empty shell
But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well
