[G] [C]
Thank you, you are a duty to my people, a thousand times I do.
We're going away from the holy ground and the girls that we [G] love,
[C] we will save the Salsillo and then return [F] for sure,
[C] to see again and again as we love the holy ground once more.
Thank you, you are the girl I do [F] adore, [C] and still I live in my hopes to see
the holy ground once more.
Thank you, you are
I see the storm arising, I see it coming soon.
The sky is so cloudy, you can hear
[G] it.
[C] And the boat, oh ship, she was passing about.
The wreck and what [F] [C] a
And still I live in hopes to see the [G] holy ground [C] once more.
Thank you, you are the girl I do [F] adore, [C] and still I live in my hopes to see
the holy ground once more.
Thank you, you are
Now the storm is over, and we are safe on shore.
We will drink and toast to the holy ground and the girl that [G] we adore.
[C] We will drink, struggle and falter, and make our laughter more.
And when our body is all spent, we'll go to sea for more.
Thank you, you are the girl I do [F]
adore, [C] and still I live in my hopes to see
the holy ground once more.
Thank you, you [G] are
