• Difficulty: Beginner

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Vanessa: Verse 1:
  D           G
The elevated train by my window
          D
Doesn't faze me anymore
  D             G
The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams
    F#m       G
It's a lullaby, in its way



   D           G
The elevated train drives everyone insane
  D    Bm    G  A
But I don't mind, oh no
     D             G
When I bring back boys they can't tolerate the noise
      F#m              G
And that's okay, 'cause I never let them stay

Chorus 1:

     G
And one day, I'm hoppin' that elevated
 A          D
train and I'm riding away!
       A  D
It won't be long now!


Vanessa: Verse 2:

  D              G
The boys around the way holler at me when
            D
I'm walking down the street
     D          G
Their machismo pride doesn't break my stride—
    F#m         G
It's a compliment, so they say
   D             G
The boys around the way holler at me every
    D        G
day but I don't mind, oh no
    D           G
If I'm in the mood, it will not be with some dude
    F#m                G
Who is whistling 'cause he has nothing to say
                   F#m
Or who's honking at me from his Chevrolet!


Chorus 2:

     G               A
And one day... I'm hoppin' in a limousine
         D
and I'm driving away!
       A  D
It won't be long now!


Usnavi, Benny, Sonny: Verse 3:

G
 Oh snap! Who’s that?
G
Don't touch me, I'm too hot! Yes!
G
Qué pasó? Here I go!
G     A
So dope! Y tu lo sabes!
G
 No pare // Sigue sigue!
G
 Did you see me? // Freaky freakit!
G        A
What a way to begin the weekend
G          A
Sonny, anything you want is free, man!
G
 And my dearly beloved Dominican Republic, I haven't forgotten you!
A                  F#m
 Gonna see this honey, make a little money, and one day, I'll hop Jet Blue!
G
 But until that fateful day, I'm grateful
     A
I got a destination
G
 I'm runnin' to make it home
              A
And home's what Vanessa's runnin' away from!
G
 I'm runnin' to make it home
              A
And home's what Vanessa's runnin' away from...


Vanessa: Verse 4:
   D            G
The neighborhood salon is the place I am
         D
working for the moment
   D            G
As I cut their hair, ladies talk and share
   F#m            G
Every day, who's doin' who and why...
   D             G
The neighborhood salon doesn't pay me what
       D         G
I wanna be making but I don't mind
    D          G
As I sweep the curb I can hear those turbo
     F#m             G
engines blazing a trail through the sky


Outro:
    G                 F#m
I look up and think about the years gone by
     G         A         Bm
But one day—I'm walkin' to JFK and I'm gonna fly!
  A    G
It won't be long now!
Bm A  D
  Any day...
