Alvarenga
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
(strum in waltz timing)
[Verse 1]
C
I do it my way, I sail on a Friday, I don't do devotions or charms
F Am C
So far I've come to no harm
C
Three lunar cycles, a prayer to St. Michael, my mother pays destiny's due
F Am
And I wear this swallow tattoo
E Am F C
You blow a kiss to your love from the stern
F D C
A promise to always return
C
We crossed the ocean, no maps and no notion, the first thing we found was a storm
F Am
The worst one that I've ever seen
E Am F C F D C
Hundreds of miles from the last place of rest, thousands of miles from the next
[Chorus]
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
[Verse 2]
C
We seemed like brothers, we dreamed of our mothers and somehow we kept her afloat
F Am C
Just two little lives in a boat
C
Freshwater fountains and fruits of the mountain, I feasted on lies in my head
F Am
Well it kept me from drinking the sea
E Am F C
You mapped a course that was different to mine
F D C
You drank the ocean like wine
[Chorus]
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
[Verse 3]
C
Gulls sound like laughter, I held you long after, the light in your eyes only moons
F Am C
You were cold like our hooks and harpoons
C
Sunrise to sunset I scanned for a silhouette, a thousand horizons unknown
F Am
Just me and the ocean alone
E Am F C
Mother my castaway cradle of bones
F D C
Sing to me all the way home
[Chorus]
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
D Am C
Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home
