Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AmDmGC Invisible company, a house of smoke and stale perfume AmDmGC She makes her seventh cup of tea, I stalk desperately from room to room AmDmGC Like two strangers on a train, neither one will hardly speak AmDmGCC7 I dreamt a dream of old Havana, she played the blues upon my grand piano Chorus: FGCGAmDmA7 You skyjack my soul, hijack my screams, kidnap my baby, so handsome FGCGAm You’ve stolen my bank (?) million dollar dreams DmGC Demanding my life as your ransom
Stamped her foot, clinched her fist, closed her face and slashed her wrist I pretend (?), the little (?) bee around my lotus Which that we could travel more, life’s become a bloody bore It would be so nice to everyone, we’ve never been on holiday
Chorus
Little sailor lost in space, navigating through the storms How I hope that you will find a place where you can heel the scars
