Caroline Herring - Abuelita


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C majorC Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC Cadd9Cadd9

C majorC       E minorEm  FF   C majorC
I should have known why I loved
    Cadd9Cadd9    E minorEm
Driving through the cactus fields
      FF       G+G
Or wearing white leather gloves
 E MajorE E7E7    A minorAm
Admiring the virgin
    FF        G+G
As she stands upon the moon
C majorC     Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
Waltzing behind a second line
    FF       G+G
Or harmonizing the gospel tunes

CHORUS:
C majorC  E minorEm  FF       C majorC
Abuelita, underneath the trees
   Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm      FF      C majorC
Of Costa  Rica and her dark shored seas
          E minor 7Em7
They won't tell me about you
      FF     G+G
They don't want me to see
C majorC  E minorEm      FF  G+G  C majorC
Abuelita, you're just like me


   E minorEm FF     C majorC
I do not have your mind
 Cadd9Cadd9  E minorEm
Nor your body
     FF        G+G
Nor your circumstance in time
  E MajorE   E7E7    A minorAm
But I feel something rising
  FF         G+G
Up through me like a song
   C majorC Cadd9Cadd9  E minorEm
It's fragile and lovely
   FF      G+G
It's powerful and strong

CHORUS:
C majorC  E minorEm  FF       C majorC
Abuelita, underneath the trees
   Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm      FF      C majorC
Of Costa  Rica and her dark shored seas
          E minor 7Em7
They won't tell me about you
      FF     G+G
They don't want me to see
C majorC  E minorEm      FF  G+G  C majorC
Abuelita, you're just like me


BRIDGE:
G+G            FF    C majorC
Oh, grandmother did you have to say
G+G               FF       C majorC
Sometimes life, well, it just turns out that way
E minorEm      A minorAm
Waiting for a boy
E minorEm      A minorAm
Waiting for a train
D MajorD                FF   G+G
Waiting on something to make you feel again


INTERLUDE: C majorC E minorEm FF C majorC E minorEm FF C majorC


      E minorEm  FF      C majorC
All of the girls lined up the stairs
       Cadd9Cadd9   E minorEm
Dressed like queens and princesses
   FF        G+G
With jewels in their hair
E MajorE    E7E7    A minorAm
Wrapped up in the old furs
  FF        G+G
You gave to us that night
C majorC      Cadd9Cadd9  E minorEm
We were the midnight fireworks
  FF         G+G
We blazed in a New Year sky


CHORUS:
C majorC  E minorEm  FF       C majorC
Abuelita, underneath the trees
   Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm      FF      C majorC
Of Costa  Rica and her dark shored seas
          E minor 7Em7
They won't tell me about you
      FF     G+G
They don't want me to see

Abuelita, you're just like me___
