Chords: San Sebastian
© 1997 by Jon Gorey


Verse 1:
C FMaj7
It's early morning here in San Sebastian
C FMaj7 C
Buenas dias as they say it here
C FMaj7
By now I should have been in Barcelona
C FMaj7 C
I lost my way but then I found it here
G C G
I've got no money but at least I'm working
C FMaj7 C
Playing songs they don't understand
G C G
It doesn't matter cuz the tide keeps coming
C FMaj7 C
I sit and watch all of the fishermen

Chorus:
Am G C
Hey, hey hey
Am G C
That's the sound of a happy man
Am G Fadd2 C
Hey, hey hey
Am G C
That's the sound of your heart saying here I am.

Verse 2:
The sun is shining here in San Sebastian
Hace sol como dicen aqui
There's a statue up upon the mountain
He watches everything the eyes can see
I've got no money but at least I'm working
Playing songs they might've heard before
It doesn't matter cuz there's people watching
It's just a couple but they want some more
(chorus)

Verse 3:
I found something here in San Sebastian
Buena suerte por mi corazon
I don't know just where the dawn will find me
But now I don't feel I'm that far from home
I've got no money but at least I'm working
And pretty soon now I'll be on my way
Solamente quiero decir gracias
Por la felicidad que encontre
(chorus)

lyrics

It's early morning here in San Sebastian
Buenas dias as they say it here
By now I should have been in Barcelona
I lost my way but then I found it here
I've got no money but at least I'm working
Playing songs they don't understand
It doesn't matter cuz the tide keeps coming
I sit and watch all of the fishermen
Hey, hey hey - That's the sound of a happy man
That's the sound of your heart saying here I am.
The sun is smiling here in San Sebastian
Hace sol como dicen aqui.
There's a statue up upon the mountain
He watches everything the eye can see
I've got no money but at least I'm working
Playing songs they may have heard before
It doesn't matter cuz there's people watching
It's just a couple but they want some more
Hey, hey hey - That's the sound of a happy man
That's the sound of your heart saying here I am.
I found something here in San Sebastian
Buena suerte por mi corazon.
I don't know just where the dawn will find me
But now I don't feel I'm that far from home
I've got no money but at least I's working
Pretty soon now I'll be on my way
Solamente quiero decir gracias
Por la felicidad que encontre
Hey, hey hey - That's the sound of a happy man
That's the sound of your heart saying here I am.
