Biography:
Three bands have performed and recorded under the name "Show of Hands".
1) Show Of Hands are England's most successful acoustic roots duo - Steve Knightley and Phil Beer. Their widespread appeal is based on the combined power of Steve's original songs, the quality of their vocals and harmonies, and their multi-instrumental virtuosity. Their performances feature guitars, mandocello, fiddle, cuatro, viola and concertina.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A great song from Show of Hands, recorded by them more than once, I believe first in
collaboration with a Chilean folk Group with whom they recorded as 'Alianza'.
The chords here are my interpretation of that recording! Hope it works for you :)
D
From the ports of the west
G
We sailed into the sun,
D
South America Bound,
G
The journey begun,
A Bm G D
Lights coming on in the barrios,
G A
Half the world away,
D A Bm G
Oceans to cross, and course to steer,
A
All the way.
D
We bought copper and ore,
G
Silver and gold,
D
From the mines and fields,
G
The sweat of a people was sold,
A Bm G D
Lights going out in the barrios

A long days labour at an end,
D Bm G
They saw the wealth of the mountains,
A
Flow all the way
G
to Santiago,
D G
All the way to Santiago,
D G
All the way to Santiago,
D G
All the way to Santiago,
A Bm
All the way
D
And when the country was torn,
G
We chose sides,
D
Selling arms to the few
G
Who would hold back the tide,
A Bm G D
Fires burned in the barrios
G Bm Em
We poured oil upon the flames,
D A Bm G
Selling bullets, bombs, guns and planes
A
All the way.
D
From the hearts of the west,
G
They’ll fly back to the sun,
D
South America bound,
G
The story is done,
A Bm G D
There’ll be laughter and songs in the barrios
G Bm A
To echo half the world away,
D A G
When Maria y Juan y Julio,
