 G#MD#M
 I left my country when i was nineteen
 G#MD#M
 And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
 G#MD#M
 Met a woman who became my life
 G#MD#M
 And oh when i saw her
 G#MD#M
 Darkness fled from me
 G#MD#M
 And flew like a blackbird into the sun
 G#MD#M
 On the day she married me
 G#MD#M
Dear god    
 G#M
Dear god
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
I remember climbing up those shoulders
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 Coming up under you like a lion 
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 Coming down like we were dying
 G#MD#M
Dear god      
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 But now the drumbirds come for me
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 Oh now the drumbirds come for me
 G#MD#M
 Lord give me forgiveness
 G#MD#M
 For all that i've done
 G#MD#M
 Forgive me now of the weight i bear
 G#MD#M
Don't keep me on the run
 G#MD#M
Dear god      
 G#MD#M
Dear god      
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
I remember climbing up those shoulders
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 Coming up under you like a lion 
 G#MD#MG#MD#M
 Coming down like we were dying
 G#M
Dear god
