Verse:

Am7                       G
The last of some bad debris
Dm                           C
Falls through the coconut trees
G                C    
Twilight claims me
F9           G
Inching calmly 
Am7                     G
Through restaurant radios
Dm            C 
Came a calypso 
G              C
Stood with elongo
F9            G 
Inside a shadow

Chorus:

C            G
Elongo, Elongo
Dm           F   G      
from here to san pedro
              C       F9     G
we draw lines in the sand
C                     G
Elongo, how long though
Dm            F       G      
Until we will get back home 
           C       F9       G
The sun is setting low

Verse 2:

Am7                       G
Will youth come and go
Dm                           C
Singing the songs they know
G                C
Like Mother Teresa 
F9                 G
A vicious Siddhartha
Am7                       G
And you fly paper planes 
Dm                           C
A cow wake is where they lay 
G                C
the roots of your family 
F9                      G
The guns of your history

from here to san pedro
              C       F9     G
we draw lines in the sand
C                     G
Elongo, how long though
Dm            F       G      
Until we will get back home 
           C       F9      
The sun is setting low

Bridge:

Dm    C       G
Is it sailing away 
Dm      C          G
Or am I waiting in vain 
Dm     C             G
Do you break all your chains 
Dm         C       G
For it to all wash away

Chorus:

C            G
Elongo, Elongo
Dm           F   G      
from here to san pedro
              C       F9     G
we draw lines in the sand
C                     G
Elongo, how long though
Dm            F       G      
Until we will get back home 
           C       F9       G
The sun is setting low
