[Verse]
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Try once more like you did be- fore, Sing a new song, Chiquitita[Verse]
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
[Chorus] ... as above ...
[Outro] ... repeat the last line of the Chorus ...
