Verse 1
Am G F
Last night I heard of the death of a stranger to me
C G
'Though I've known many more of her kind
Am G F
Scattered in bed-sits and in 'hard-to-let' flats
C G
And anywhere else they could find
Am Asus2 Am F
Half a world distant for half a life here
C G
With the certainty at the day's end
Verse 2
Am
However hard we can paint,
G F
Still they'd have to return
C G
While something remained to defend
Chorus
Am Asus2 Am
There's a slow waltz for Chile
F
All down through the years
C G
Of Pinochet, murder and dread
Am Asus2 Am
With no quick step solution
F
Just the will to resist
C G
'Til the last decent Chilean is dead
Verse 3
Am G F
All the stencils and the arguments, the smoking and the damp
C G
These were things that I came to resent
Am G F
Until a, "Who's going to miss me if I miss now and again?"
C G
Soon came to mean that I never went
Am F
But, drinking, I'd be there, with my fist in the air
C G
'To consolidate we must advance'
Am G F
Now a cold wind from Chile has frozen this fool
C G
In suffering there just is no romance
Chorus
Am Asus2 Am
There's a slow waltz for Chile
F
All down through the years
C G
Of Pinochet, murder and dread
Am Asus2 Am
With no quick step solution
F
Just the will to resist
C G
'Til the last decent Chilean is dead
Verse 4
Am G F
Last night I heard of the death of a stranger to me
C G
And I didn't ask how she died
Am G F
Because the way that she lived was all that we need to know
C G
While we've still got time to decide
Chorus 2
Am Asus2 Am
There's a slow waltz for Chile
F
All down through the years
C G
Of Pinochet, murder and dread
Am Asus2 Am
With no quick step solution
F
Just the will to resist
C G | G | G |
'Til the last decent Chilean is dead
