Alvarenga

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 D Am C Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home D Am C Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home 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 D Am C Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home D Am C Alvarenga, Alvarenga, come home 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 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
