False Echoes (Havana 1921)
Artist: Jimmy Buffett
From: Banana Wind (1996)
Key of Eb (Capo on Fret 1)
[Intro]
D   G/D   D   G/D
Bm  A   D
[Verse 1]
D              G D          A             D
The skies over Cuba, turned pink with the light
                   Bm                  A
And the waterfront ritual, began to ignite
                     G  D          A             D
All the ships in the harbour, were warmed by the sun
                  Bm     A                D    G   D
Twenty fifth of November, nineteen twenty-one
                 G  D       A            D
On the old Chickamouga, the signal jacks flew
                     Bm                               A
And the message they spelled out, caused a great ballyhoo
                G D        A        D
Every ship in Havana, then hoisted away
                      Bm      A                      D
All the pennants were flyin', on my Dad's first birthday
[Chorus]
A                    D
Enduring echoes call out from his past
A                         D
Time ain't for savin', no time's not for that
Bm            F#m           G           A
Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire
   G          Bm                A            D     G   D
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
[Verse 2]
                  G      D       A          D
Now his storybook childhood, was not make believe
                  Bm                            A
On the decks of a tall ship, he was taught to achieve
                         G D             A           D
Witnessed storms and starvation, natural wonders and force
                 Bm      A                   D      G   D
Oh the life of A sailor,  steers a wandering course
[Chorus]
A                    D
Enduring echoes call out from his past
A                         D
Time ain't for savin', no time's not for that
Bm            F#m           G           A
Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire
   G          Bm                A            D     G   D
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
[Verse 3]
                        G     D         A         D
Well now life throws us curve balls, we never can reach
               Bm                         A
He gave up the ocean, but he lived by the beach
                       G   D             A         D
Where he raised up his family, taught us all to survive
                   Bm      A                D    G   D
Then the wind went away in  nineteen ninety-five
[Instrumental]
A    D

Bm   F#m   G   A
G    Bm    A   D   G   D
[Verse 4]
                  G  D       A              D
Now the old Chickamauga, has slipped by the ways
                Bm                   A
She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay
                        G  D           A           D
Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near
                     Bm        A                   D    G    D
They protect him and tell him,  there's nothing to fear
                      G  D       A           D
'Cause it's family tradition, we take to the sea
                       Bm         A            D  G   D
And it's a time in the future, for Cameron and me
[Chorus]
A                    D
Enduring echoes call out from his past
A                         D
Time ain't for savin', no time's not for that
Bm            F#m           G           A
Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire
   G          Bm                A             D     G    D
He waltzes on memories while he fades like  a flare
[Outro]
D              G D       A             D
The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun
                Bm       A                D      G    D
Twenty fifth of November, nineteen twenty-one
