The Dogs Of Ba Tab

I love this song and I've never been able to find the chords for it... So I 
deciphered them myself.  It was fun.  Here you go. -Ani

The Dogs of B.A.

                    
I hung myself out on the line
                 
Beneath an argentina sky
                   
And i expected there to dry
                  
Beneath the argentina sky
                       
Upon the rooftop here so high
                  
Beneath the argentina sky
                           
The storm did call me to its side
                  
Beneath the argentina sky

                                  
And the dogs of buenos aires they will take you from your sleep
                                     
Between the firecrackers cackling and the taxis in the street
                                           
And if you wake up lonely better throw some shoes upon those feet
                                       
To keep the heartbreak from taking your life

                    
Once i had planned to be your bride
                 
Before this argentina sky
                    
Now i just tend my wounded pride
                 
Under this argentina sky
                    
Now i want the rain to fall into my eyes
                 
From this argentina sky
                    
The thunder to match my anguished cries
                 
Beneath this argentina sky

                                  
I looked into the darkening and while the air did chill
                                     
I knew that though i'm here in exile that you should love me still
                                 
And when the rain began to pound i lifted up my face until
                               
I was soaked with the ache of the sky


    

 
Em   G   D/F#   Em x4 (during talking part in spanish. Lalala.)
Ella hacía el lavado de una terraza,
Mientras el sol le quemaba la espalda,
Ella intentaba fregar el sudor de su desconsuelo,
Escurrir las lagrimas,
Pero antes que la tarea estuviera terminada,
La ropa todavía doliente en la soga,
Bajo desde el delta un viento poderoso
Y las nubes se cargaron a lo largo del cielo
¡R?pido, adentro, cerrad las ventanas, viene una tormenta!
Sac? tu ropa de la soga.

                    
So many tears could make me blind
                 
Beneath this argentina sky
                    
But still my love for you i can't deny
                 
Even under argentina's skies
                    
I'll seek until a path to you i find
                 
Under these argentina skies
                    
When will you take me back incide
                 
From under argentina's skies

                                  
I looked into the darkening and while the air did chill
                                     
I knew that though i'm here in exile that you should love me still
                                  
And when the rain began to pound i lifted up my face until
                               
I was soaked with the ache of the sky
                         
When will you take me back inside
                         
From under these argentine skies?
