We're going to try and experiment now.
It's not an experiment on you as much as [Eb] it's an experiment on us.
It's
[Abm]
[Bm] [N] a song we've never played.
I think we've played it maybe once before.
If anything, we'll live [F] on after this concert.
I hope it's this song and the ideas behind this song.
[B] [Ab] It's a song called Mothers of the Disappeared.
It's a song [Bm]
based on an experience I had in San Salvador where I got to meet some women whose sons and daughters,
I don't know whether they're alive or dead, were just taken in the night by something that, thank God, we don't have in this country
and something we don't have in my country, which is the death squads of [N] Central and South America.
They're really afraid of these women, so I'm going to sing this song for them and for their bravery.

[Ab] Do you hear that heartbeat?
In the trees our sons stand naked.
On the walls of the skies,
the [Eb] deers,
[Fm] [A]
[Ab] and the rain falls.
[Db]
[Ab] And

[Db] the water flows,
on [Ab] the mountain top,
[Db] where the water flows,
[Ab] and [Db] where the water fills my cup,
[Ab]
[Db] I'm a spirit, [Ab] I'm a spirit.
I'm a baby, you [Db] all say.
I was born in a land of time,
filled with women's egos.
[Ab] I was running out of time, I was something I know [Db] is.
