[Intro]
Em Am C7 B7 x2
[Verse]
Em Am C7 B7 Left in the summer we were wide-eyed and dazed Em Am C7 B7 By winter, those distant miles etched their marks on each face Em Am C7 B7 We played like gypsy weddings, shirts drenched in champagne Em Went into catacombs and raised the skeletons from their graves Em Am C7 B7 Now, all you kids who lay your axes at the alter of song Em Am C7 B7 May your voices be true, may your hearts beat strong Em Am C7 B7 But when you walk into the sound of that sweet, sweet rage Em B7 You'd better play like 'Cuban Fire' and leave your blood on the stage B7 Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage
[Verse]
Em Am C7 B7 We stole the hours in that beautiful haze Em Am C7 B7 In the thunder of the drums and the trumpet's blaze Em Am C7 B7 Eyes wild, lights flashing, sweat-drenched to the bone Em Some nights we have nothing to give but still we bring it on home
[Chorus]
Em Am C7 B7 Now, all you kids who lay your axes at the alter of song Em Am C7 B7 May your voices be true, may your hearts beat strong Em Am C7 B7 But when you walk into the sound of that sweet, sweet rage Em B7 You'd better play like 'Cuban Fire' and leave your blood on the stage B7 Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage
[Verse]
Em Am C7 B7 I want you, I need you, you find me, I leave you Em Am C7 B7 From Havana to the outer streets of invisible cities Em Am C7 B7 Yeah, I whisper, I scream you, you haunt me, I dream you Em Am C7 B7 But the moment that I get you in my arms you disappear Em Am C7 B7 Your my nirvana, my torture, my guru, my seeker Em Am C7 B7 I adore you, you're the only one who knows my secret creature Em Am C7 B7 From the sands of La Louise to Rio where the Christ Redeemer cries: Em Am C7 B7 You spiders of desire, it's time to play it like you mean it
[Instrumental]
Em Am C7 B7 Alright Em Am C7 B7 Alright Em Am C7 B7 Alright Em Am C7 B7 It's live
[Chorus]
Em Am C7 B7 Now, all you kids who lay your axes at the alter of song Em Am C7 B7 May your voices be true, may your hearts beat strong Em Am C7 B7 But when you walk into the sound of that sweet, sweet rage Em You'd better play like 'Cuban Fire' and leave your blood on the stage B7 Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 Blood on the stage Em Am C7 B7 You'd better play like 'Cuban Fire' and leave your blood on the stage
