Song: we all know
Album: nino rojo (2004)

Intro:  G  Em  (x4)
           G   Em
We all know
                   G    Em
That the wind blows
                  G    Em
And the moon glows
                  G    Em
And our lungs grow
C
We belong to the floating hand
       A7...
that's made by some animals,
                   G    Em
And we all dance so
             G    Em
We can let go
                  G    Em
And remove clothes
               G    Em
And trade lobes
C
Like the type of tongue that roots from your breast
       A7...
and it shakes your pretty little clavicle,
             G    Em
A good friend
          G    Em
Is walking
             G    Em
To a homeland
              G    Em
An inside land,

And to him you can say
C
Leave your eyes at the horizon's dead door cause you
A7...
won't need them anymore,
            G    Em
The children
                                 G    Em
Da da da di dum spend the dawning
                               G    Em
Da da da di dum and the morning
                           G    Em
Da da da di ra disappearing

Hm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm m
C
They reappeared as the seed of love
             A7                         G    Em
you know the earth births the vegetables,
           G    Em
We all know (x4)

Outro: (Enter horn section)
G            Em
Da dum da dum da da da... etc

The song mainly consists of the top progression
but at various times frequents the lower.

Attempted made as far as possible to correspond the chord
changes w/lyrics.
Fingerpicked/strummed (of course)
d= down strum
u= up stum
ux= up muffle (get the down up motion going but just slightly
release pressure on the upward movement to create the small muffle)

Transcribed by ear, all my own work.
Good Luck
