[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

[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
