Santiago chords by Show Of Hands

D
From the ports of the west
                   G
We sailed into the sun,
       D
South America Bound,
             G
The journey begun,
A             Bm        G    D
Lights coming on in the barrios,
G              A
Half the world away,
D         A          Bm        G
Oceans to cross, and course to steer,
        A
All the way.
          D
We bought copper and ore,
          G
Silver and gold,
         D
From the mines and fields,
                          G
The sweat of a people was sold,
A            Bm         G    D
Lights going out in the barrios
   D        G           A
A long days labour at an end,
D            Bm            G
They saw the wealth of the mountains,
             A
Flow all the way
        G
to Santiago,

        D           G
All the way to Santiago,
        D           G
All the way to Santiago,
        D           G
All the way to Santiago,
        A           Bm
All the way

             D
And when the country was torn,
          G
We chose sides,
        D
Selling arms to the few
                        G
Who would hold back the tide,
A     Bm            G    D
Fires burned in the barrios
G         Bm           Em
We poured oil upon the flames,
        D        A      Bm       G
Selling bullets, bombs, guns and planes
        A
All the way.

         D
From the hearts of the west,
                        G
They'll fly back to the sun,
       D
South America bound,
             G
The story is done,
            A            Bm           G    D
There?ll be laughter and songs in the barrios
   G    Bm              A
To echo half the world away,
       D     A       G
When Maria y Juan y Julio,
D       A       G
Felipe, Pedro y Mario,
   D        A            G
Isabella, y Manuel y Mauricio,
              A
Vengamos a la casa,
      G
A Santiago.
