Carmen Cifras

[Verse 1]
C               E              F
First time on a plane, 18, you came
            Am               Dm
You found a door and held it open
C         F                  C
No way to know how to make a home
                        G
In someone else's motherland
 
[Prechorus]
         Am          C     F
You transplanted a family tree
      Am         C        F
And a part of it grew into me
 
[Chorus]
F
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee
                          C
I'll throw it for you, Carmen
   G          F
Carmen, I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
                       C
Let them adore you, Carmen
   G      F
Carmen, I will
   C      G
Carmen, Carmen
 
[Verse 2]
C               E              F
Look at all the trouble that you made
            Am               Dm
Carved your initials in this island
C            F                 C
But the Weetabix don't taste the same
                              G
And we're all talking to our phones
 
[Prechorus]
                Am      C     F
But you reigned over a family tree
         Am        C         F
And I'll carefully carry the seeds
 
[Chorus]
F
You're stronger than I'll ever be
Never got a jubilee
                          C
I'll throw it for you, Carmen
   G          F
Carmen, I will
The only place I wanna stand
Holding on to grandma's hands
                       C
Let them adore you, Carmen
   G      F
Carmen, I will
