Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
This city is silver in the moon
And mountains heaped with sugar spoons
The click and clatter of my feet
Along the crooked cobbled streets
Like castanets
Down past the window shuttered tight
The hollow of a haunted night
It's raining now out on the beach
The chitter chatter of my teeth
Like castanets
I'm following the coffee trail
And drink it black and by the bail
The pesos turn to paper cups
My fingers tremble at the touch
Like castanets
Across the Mapocho
Santa Lucia
Barrio Bella vista
San Cristobal
Across the Mapocho
La Moneda
La Casa de Neruda
And on the cable car I climb
Up to the sacred virgin shrine
This city's smothered in the smog
The snippy snap of wild dogs
Like Castanets
Tomorrow is Assumption Day
I ask just what they celebrate
Daniello says he can't explain
But he'll be clappin' anyway
Like Castanets

Ohh...Like Castanets
