INTRO: D
D
Who killed this woman this artist this mother?
                                         A
Who broke the candle and snuffed out her light

Along with her husband and wounded her children
                                       D
And sauntered away like a beast in the night?


D
"Not I" said the soldier
                                             
"I just follow orders and 
                            A
it was my duty to do my job well"

"Not I" said the leader who ordered the slaughter
                                            A
"I’m saddened it happened, but then, war is hell"


D
"Not us" said the others who heard of the horror
                                       A
Turned a cold shoulder on all that was done

In all the confusion a single conclusion
                              D
The circle of sorrow has only begun


And in Argentina...


D
Straight to the circle on Sundays
                              A
Down through the canyons they come

Bearing names of their mothers and daughters
                           D
Names of their fathers and sons
                                             G
Stolen away with no warning, never to ever return
               D      A7                  D               
On el Rio del Muerto, All the bridges are burned


BRIDGE:
G                                       D
Los desaparecidos, lost in the darkness alone
A
Gone from the face of the earth
                                              D
With no trace left behind them to mark with a stone
        G                                        D
And the faces of Los Olvidados, only survivors recall
A                                                       D
But for the pain and the heartbreak, did they matter at all?

D  A  D

D                                                   A
Slowly the circle of sadness, spins in the Plaza Mayor

Lonesome remains of the madness and pain
                            D
In a world gone insane in a war
                                                             G
And the song of those broken survivors, dancing alone in the dark
                            D      A7                 D
With the silence of Los Olvidados, like a hole in the heart

BRIDGE:
G                                       D
Los desaparecidos, lost in the darkness alone
A
Gone from the face of the earth
                                              D
With no trace left behind them to mark with a stone
        G                                        D
And the faces of Los Olvidados, only survivors recall
A                                                       D
But for the pain and the heartbreak, did they matter at all?
