        G (320003@1)                 
It is a dance we do in silence
                       CFar (x32010@1)below this morning sun
       CYou (x32010@1)in your life, me in mine
          GWe (320003@1)have begun
        GHere (320003@1)we stand and without speaking
                        CDraw (x32010@1)the water from the well
    C (x32010@1)              GAnd (320003@1)stare beyond the plains
   G/F# (320002@1)    G/E (020003@1)     D (xx0232@1)    CTo (x32010@1)where the mountains lie so still

           G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)             GBut (320003@1)it's a long way that I have come
                             Am (x02210@1)                           CAcross (x32010@1)the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
                            G (320003@1)     Bm (x24432@1)             EmWhere (022000@1)the families work the land as they have always done
           Am (x02210@1)          C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)       COh (x32010@1)it's so far the other way my country's gone

          GAcross (320003@1)my home has grown the shadow
                         COf (x32010@1)a cruel and senseless hand
          C (x32010@1)      
Though in some strong hearts
                   GThe (320003@1)love and truth remain
           GAnd (320003@1)it has taken me this distance
      G (320003@1)              CAnd (x32010@1)a woman's smile to learn
        C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)       G/F# (320002@1)    
That my heart remains among them
       G/E (020003@1)  D (xx0232@1)        CAnd (x32010@1)to them I must return

           G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)             GBut (320003@1)it's a long way that I have come
           G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1)                           CAcross (x32010@1)the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
                            G (320003@1)     
Where your children will be born
       Bm (x24432@1)               EmYou'll (022000@1)watch them as they run
           Am (x02210@1)          C (x32010@1)             GOh (320003@1)it's so far the other way my life has gone

       D (xx0232@1)           
If you look for me, Maria
         CYou (x32010@1)will find me in the shade
       G (320003@1)   D/F# (200232@1) EmWide (022000@1)awake or in a dream
             Bm (x24432@1)   CIt's (x32010@1)hard to tell--
       DIf (xx0232@1)you come to me, Maria
       CI (x32010@1)will show you what I've made
       G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)         CIt's (x32010@1)a picture for our lady of the well
