A great song from Show of Hands, recorded by them many times, I believe first in
collaboration with a Chilean folk Group with whom they recorded as 'Alianza'.
The chords here are my interpretation of that recording! Hope it works for you :)
DFrom the ports of the west
We sailed into the Gsun,
South ADmerica Bound,
The journey bGegun,
ALights coming Bmon in the GbarriDos,
GHalf the world Aaway,
DOceans to Across, and Bmcourse to Gsteer,
All the Away.
We bought Dcopper and ore,
Silver andG gold,
From the Dmines and fields,
The sweat of a people was Gsold,
ALights going Bmout in the GbarriDos
A lDong days Glabour at anA end,
DThey saw the Bmwealth of the Gmountains,
Flow all the Away
to SantiGago,
All the Dway to SantiGago,
All the Dway to SantiGago,
All the Dway to SantiGago,
All the Away Bm
And when the Dcountry was torn,
We chose sGides,
Selling Darms to the few
Who would hold back the Gtide,
AFires Bmburned in the GbarriDos
GWe poured Bmoil upon the Emflames,
Selling Dbullets, Abombs, Bmguns and Gplanes
All the Away.
From the Dhearts of the west,
They’ll fly back to thGe sun,
South ADmerica bound,
The story is Gdone,
There’ll bAe laughter anBmd songs in thGe barDrios
To Gecho Bmhalf the world aAway,
When MaDria y AJuan y JGulio,
DFelipe, APedro y GMario,
IsaDbella, y AManuel y MaurGicio,
Vengamos a la Acasa,
A SantGiago.
