Tonight Carmen

Carmen - Carmen - Carm......e....n !

1. Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking,

G

tonight Carmen's coming back home.

Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom,

G7 C

tonight Carmen's coming back home.

Tonight as I stand here, I notice my hand here

C7 F

is trembling as never before.

C

My feelings I can't hide, resistance has all died,

G G7 C

my pride will rush outside the moment she walks through the door.

C

2. The lips that have kissed her, that's loved her and missed her,

G

are lips that have cursed her at night

In anguish and torment, I've cursed as the night went,

G7 C

from darkness till dawn's golden light.

I thought of just taking these two hands and breaking,

C7 F

the body I'm waiting to touch.

C

I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating,

G G7 C

while anticipating, the woman I've wanted so much.

C

3. I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours,

G

I put brand new sheets on the bed.

I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling remembering,

G7 C

the way that she tosses her head.

I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to

C7 F

have more control over my life.

\ C

How can I fight it, how can I deny it,

G G7 C

there's no way to hide it, the love that I have for my wife.

Carmen - Carmen - Carm......e.....n !
