Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We were going to see the world
In this land
We placed Baptismal fonts
And an infinite number were baptized
And they called us "Carabi"
Which [Bm]means "Men [D]of Great Wisdom"

[Verse 2]
[D]Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going
Send me a letter, if you go at all

[Verse 3]
Ahh, the salvation [Bm]of souls,
But [D]wisdom we had not
For these people had neither
King nor Lord
And bowed to [Bm]no one
And they had [D]lived in their

[Verse 4]
own liberty
[D]
Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?
Going in circles

[Verse 5]
Going in circles, anywhere
[D]
I saw the new
The inconstant shifting of fortune
And now I write to you
Words that have not been written
[Bm]Words [D]from the New World
[Bb]Tracing the circles
[Gm]Moving across my [D]eyes
[Bb]Lying on a ship
And [Gm]gazing at the western [D]skies
[Bb]Tracing lazy [Gm]circles in [D]the sky

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][Gm][D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Hey!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Where are you going,
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going
Send me a letter, if you go at all

[Verse 8]
It's such [D]a delight
To watch them dance
Be it sacrifice or romance
Free [G]of all [D]the things that we hold dear
Is that clear, Your [G]Excellency?
[D]An d I guess

[Verse 9]
it's time to go but
I gotta send you just a few more lines
From the [G]New [D]World

[Verse 10]
[Bb]Tracing the circles
[Gm]Moving across my [D]eyes
[Bb]Lying on a ship
And [Gm]gazing at the western [D]skies
[Bb]Tracing lazy [Gm]circles in [D]the

[Interlude 2]
sky
[Bb][Gm][D]

[Verse 11]
Tracing lazy circles in
[Bb]the sky[Gm][D]
Tracing lazy circles
[Bb][Gm][D]

[Verse 12]
And the sky opened
And we [Bm]laid down [D]our [Bb]armour
And we danced
Na[Gm]ked as they
[D]Baptized in the rain
Of the New World
