[ABUELA CLAUDIA]
[D]Calor! [D+]Calor! [Bm]Calor!
[G/F#]Calor! [A/D]Calor! [F#]Calor!

[Bm] Ay Mama![A]
The summer's hottest [D]day [F#]
[Bm]Paciencia y [A]fe
[D]Paci[F#m]encia y [Bm]fe [F#]
[Bm]Ay carajo, it's [A]hot!
But that's o[D]kay[F#]
[Bm]Mama would [A]say,
[D]"Paci[F#m]encia y [Bm]fe"[F#]

It was [Bm]hotter at home in La [A]Vibora
The [D]Washington [F#m]Heights of [Bm]Hava[F#]na
[Bm]A crowded city of [A]faces the same as [D]min[F#m]e [Bm] [F#]
[Bm]Back as a child in La [A]Vibora
[D]I chased the [F#m]birds in the [Bm]pla[F#]za
[Bm]Praying, Mama, you would [A]find work
[D]Combing the [D/F#]stars in the s[Bm]ky for s[F#]ome sort of s[Bsus]ign [B]
[Em]Ay, Mama, [A]so many stars in [D]Cuba
[Em]En Nueva York we [A]can't see beyond our [D]streetlights[D7]
[Gmaj7]To reach the roof [A]you gotta bribe the [F#m]supa [F9]
[Em]Ain't no cassiopia in Washington [F#]Heights
[Em]But ain't no food in La Vi[F#]bora

I remember [G]nights, anger in the [A]streets, hunger at the [Bm]windows
[G]Women folding clothes, playing with my [A]friends in the summer [D]rain[D7]
[G]Mama needs a job, Mama says we're [A]poor, one day you say,[D9] "Vamos a [C9]Nueva [B]York"
And Nueva York was [Em]far, but Nueva York had [A]work, and so we [B]came

[D]And now I'm wide [Bm]awake
[D]A million years too [B]late
[G]I talk to you, [F#]imagining what you'd [Bm]do
[G/B]Remembering what we went [Cm]throug[Bb]h [Eb] [Bb] [Cm] [G7]

[Ab]Listening to friends, finally got a [Bb]job working as a [Eb]maid

[Ab]I've spent my [Bb]life inheriting [Cm]dreams [Bb]from [Ab]you

[Fm]What do I do with this [Bb]winning ticket?
[Cm]What can I [Gm]do but [Ab]pray?

I [Eb]buy my loaf of [Cm]bread
Con[Eb]tinue with my [Cm]day
And [Fm]see you in my [G7]head
Im[Fm/Ab]agining what you'd [G7]say
The [Ab]birds, they fly[Bb] aw[Fm]ay
[Gm] [Ab] [Fm] [G] (or Ddim)
Do they fly to La Vibora?
