Like Castanets


Like Castanets 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
