Celia Chords & Lyrics - Phil Ochs

[INTRO]
[F] [G] [C]

[1st verse]
[G]When the wind from the island is r[F]ollin' through the t[C]rees
When a [G]kiss from a prison cell is c[F]arried in the b[C]reeze
T[F]hat's when I [Em]wonder how s[F]ad a man can b[C]e
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]

[2nd verse]
[G]I still remember the [F]mountains of the w[C]ar
Sierra M[G]adre and the Ph[F]ilipino sh[C]ore
Wh[F]en will I[Em] lie beside my [F]Celia 'neath the t[C]rees?
[F]Oh, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]

[3rd verse]
[G]So many years were stolen, s[F]o many years are [C]gone
And the [G]vision of my Celia [F]make dreams to dream u[C]pon
[F]Each hour [Em]is a day f[F]illed with me[C]mories
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]

[4th verse]
I[G] wake each morning and I [F]watch the sun a[C]rise
[G]Wonder if my Celia sleeps, [F]wonder if she c[C]ries
[F]If hate must be my [Em]prison lock, [F]love must be the [C]key
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]

[5th verse]
T[G]he guns have stopped their firing, you may [F]wander through the h[C]ills
T[G]hey kept my Celia through the war, they ke[F]ep her from me st[C]ill
S[F]he waits upon the i[Em]sland now, a [F]prisoner of the s[C]ea
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]

[6th verse]
[G]When the wind from the island is r[F]ollin' through the t[C]rees
When a [G]kiss from a prison cell is c[F]arried in the b[C]reeze
T[F]hat's when I [Em]wonder how s[F]ad a man can b[C]e
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e? [F] [G] [C]
O[F]h, when will C[G7]elia come to m[C]e?
