[Em] There's a piano playing on the ocean[Am] floor
[G] between Havana and New Orleans[C] [Bm7]
[Em] Drummin' a requiem for the[Am] dead
[G] and the souls hanging on every [C]poet's prayer[Bm7]
[Am] Running to the r[G]ock,[Bm7] running to the [Em]sea
[Am] Prayin' to the L[G]ord pl[Bm7]ease shelter [Em]me
[Am] But the [G]ground [Bm7]keeps shaki[Em]ng,
wa[Am]ter is [G]boiling on [Bm7]fire[Em]
[Am]Blood puls[G]ing through their [Bm7]veins [Em]
like the [Am]waves [G]crashing on the [Bm7]Malecón [Em]wall
Clocks stopping at twelve
on the eve of a forgotten war
Luis drivin' a '59
making it half way across the Gulf
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
Dreams of reaching dry land,
talking to the fortune teller
Prisoners pounding the jail
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
