Bishop Allen
The Broken String
A fun, easy song. No capo, comment with corrections, done by ear.
F
This city is silver in the moon
Am
And mountains heaped with sugar spoons
Dm
The click and clatter of my feet
Bb C
Along the crooked cobbled streets
F
Like castanets
F
Down past the window shuttered tight
Am
The hollow of a haunted night
Dm
It's raining now out on the beach
Bb C
The chitter chatter of my teeth
F
Like castanets
F
I'm following the coffee trail
Am
And drink it black and by the bail
Dm
The pesos turn to paper cups
Bb C
My fingers tremble at the touch
F
Like castanets
Dm, C, F, G, E, G, F, G, C, Bb, C, F
C
Across the Mapocho
F
Santa Lucia
C
Barrio Bella vista
F
San Cristobal
C
Across the Mapocho
F
La Moneda
C C
La Casa de Neruda
F
And on the cable car I climb
Am
Up to the sacred virgin shrine
Dm
This city's smothered in the smog
Bb C
The snippy snap of wild dogs
F
Like Castanets
F
Tomorrow is Assumption Day
Am
I ask just what they celebrate
Dm
Daniello says he can't explain
Bb C
But he'll be clappin' anyway
F
Like Castanets
F, Am, Dm, Bb, C, F x2
Ohh...Like Castanets
