A      D/A
Chiquitita, tell me
         A   D/A
What's wrong.
A
You're enchained by
             E
Your own sorrow.
D       E
In your eyes there is no hope
 A        D/A
For tomorrow.
A      D/A
How I hate to see you
       A  D/A
Like this,
A
There is no way
 C#m
You can deny it,
E D    E
I can see that you're oh, so
 A        D/A
Sad, so quiet.

A    D/A
Chiquitita, tell me
      A   D/A
The truth.
A
I'm a shoulder
            E
You can cry on.
 D          E
Your best friend, I'm the one you
 A
Must rely on.
A        D/A
You were always sure of
     A   D/A
Yourself.

Now I see you've

Broken a feather.

I  hope we can patch it
A        D
Up together.

Chorus:
A                       D
Chiquitita, you and I know
         D
How the heart aches come and they go
          A
And the scars they're leaving.
                         E
You'll be dancing once again,
         D        E
And the pain will end,
                  A
You will have no time for grieving.
                        D
Chiquitita, you and I cry,
         D
But the sun is still in the sky
      A
And shining above you.
                           E
Let me hear you sing once more
          D     E
Like you did before,
                   A
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.
          E
Try once more
          D     E
Like you did before,
                   A      D/A
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.

A       D/A
So the walls came tumbling
 A   D/A
Down.
A
And your love's a
                E
Blown out candle.
D       E
All is gone and it seems too
 A             D
Hard to handle.
A      D/A
Chiquitita, tell me
      A   D
The truth.
A         D/A
There is no way
 C#m
You can deny it.
E D E
I  see that you're oh, so
 A         D/A
Sad, so quiet.

Chorus

  A       E
Try once more
          D     E
Like you did before,
        D          A
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.
