F5
I see a mansard roof through the trees,
F5                     G5
I see a salty message written in the eves,
   C5
The ground beneath my feet
         F5                D5
The hot garbage and concrete,
            G5
And now the tops of buildings
C5                    F5
I can see them too!

F5
I see a mansard roof through the trees,
F5                     G5
I see a salty message written in the eves,
   C5
The ground beneath my feet
         F5                D5
The hot garbage and concrete,
            G5
And now the tops of buildings
C5                    F5
I can see them too!

F5
The argentines collapse in defeat,
F5                      G5
The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet,
   C5
The ground beneath their feet
     F5                  D5
Is a nautically map sheet
       G5
As thin as paper
C5                           F5
While it slips away from you.
