(D)The skies over (G)Cuba(D), turned (A)pink with the (D)light
And the waterfront (Bm)ritual, began to (A)ignite.
All the ships in the (G)harbour(D), were (A)warmed by the (D)sun
Twenty fifth of (Bm)November, (A)Nineteen Twenty-(D)one. (G) (D)
On the old Chicka(G)mouga(D), the (A)signal jacks (D)flew
And the message they (Bm)spelled out, caused a great bally(A)hoo
Every ship in (G)Havana(D), then (A)hoisted (D)away
All the pennants were (Bm)flyin', (A)on my Dad's first (D)birthday
CHORUS:
(A)Enduring echoes call (D)out from his past,
(A)Time ain't for savin', no (D)time's not for that.
(Bm)Chasin' false (F#m)echoes like a (G)lost legionnaire(A),

He (G)waltzes on (Bm)memories while he (A)fades like (D)flare (G) (D)
Now his storybook (G)childhood(D), was (A)not make (D)believe
On the decks of a (Bm)tall ship, he was taught to (A)achieve.
Witnessed storms and (G)starvation(D), Natural (A)wonders and (D)Force
Oh the life of a (Bm)sailor, (A)steers a wandering (D)course (G) (D)
REPEAT CHORUS:
Well now life throws us (G)curve (D)balls, We (A)never can (D)reach
He gave up the (Bm)ocean, but he lived by the (A)beach.
Where he raised up his (G)family(D), taught (A)us all to (D)survive
Then the wind went (Bm)away in (A)Nineteen Ninety-(D)Five (G) (D)

(G) (Bm) (A) (D) (G) (D)
Now the old Chicka(G)mauga(D), has (A)slipped by the (D)ways
She lies on the (Bm)bottom of old Mobile (A)Bay
Where the ghosts of his (G)father(D) and his (A)brother are (D)near
They protect him and (Bm)tell him, (A)There's nothing to (D)fear (G) (D)
Cause it's family (G)tradition(D), We (A)take to the (D)sea
And it's a time in the (Bm)future, For (A)Cameron and (D)me (G) (D)
REPEAT CHORUS:
(D)The skies over (G)Cuba(D) Were (A)warmed by the (D)sun,
Twenty fifth of (Bm)November, (A)Nineteen Twenty-one(D).
