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
