Verse 1:
B minorBm A augmentedA
She was found and pronounced
At the scene
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
She was already lying in bed
B minorBm A augmentedA
The paramedics said that her heart gave out
I mean
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
That's basically what they said
B minorBm A augmentedA
They said a combination of the stress and the heat
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Why she never took her medicine, I’ll never understand
A augmentedA
I’d like to think she went out in peace
B minorBm A augmentedA
With pieces of bread crumbs in her hand
Verse 2:
B minorBm A augmentedA
Abuela Claudia had simple pleasures
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
She sang the praises of things we ignore
B minorBm A augmentedA
Glass Coke bottles, bread crumbs, a sky full of stars
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm B minorBm
She cherished these things, she’d say: “Alabanza.”
A augmentedA D MajorD
Alabanza means to raise this thing to God’s face
A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And to sing, quite literally: “Praise to this.”
A augmentedA
When she was here, the path was clear
B minorBm A augmentedA
And she was just here
B minorBm
she was just here…
