G G7 G G7 G C
Carmen, Carmen, Car-m -e-n
(verse 1)
C
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
My pride will rush outside
G7 C
The moment she walks through the door
(verse 2)
The lips that have kissed her, that's loved her and missed her
Are lips that have cursed her at night
In anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went
From darkness till dawn's golden light
I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking
The body I'm waiting to touch
I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating
While anticipating
The woman I've wanted so much
(verse 3)
C
I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours
G
I've 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
G G7 G G7 G C
Carmen, Carmen, Car-m -e-n
